The Top 5 may be the same but we have a new #1. Just as in Best Actress, Lady Bird is flying high on the charts and Laurie Metcalf unseats Allison Janney (I, Tonya) for the first time. Metcalf has 16 critics’ awards win so far to Janney’s four. They both have Golden Globe, SAG and Critics’ Choice nominations and …

Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project), who’s won over a dozen critics’ awards this season (15, as of this writing) remains the leader, increasing his point level back up to 99 (only Jason has him at #2). Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) has been earning lots of regional critics’ prizes (he’s at 8 there) and is still a solid …

Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) is an unmovable force in Best Actor as he notches another month at the top of the chart. But the big move and the big news is Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out) bursting into the top 5. He’s jumps over Tom Hanks (The Post), Jake Gyllenhall (Stronger) and James Franco (The Disaster Artist) to reach his highest …

Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk) is nothing if not consistent. Despite the turn-up in Best Picture he retains his #1 spot in Best Director. But, as in Best Picture, Jordan Peele (Get Out) and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) make huge moves as we leave 2017 to land at #3 and #5, respectively. Ridley Scott, hot off the heels of his Best Director …

Since we started Best Picture predictions for this season, Dunkirk has mostly been atop the chart with stealth contenders Get Out and Lady Bird in the top 10 but not making a big move…yet. Cue the Golden Globe and (especially) the Screen Actors Guild nominations where both films scored and changed the race. Get Out is the new #1 as we close the year, with Lady Bird right behind at …

What a difference a week makes in awards season. Just 11 days ago the mid-December Best Picture predictions came out with Dunkirk atop the chart and stealth contenders Get Out and Lady Bird at #5 and #6, respectively. Cue to the Golden Globe and (especially) the Screen Actors Guild nominations where both films scored. Now, Lady Bird is perched in …

It’s been an exciting 10 weeks during which we analyzed almost 30 films in the Foreign Language Film Oscar race, a number that represents around 30% of the total films in contention. These 30 films included some of the highest-profile and most obscure films vying for the noms, and represented countries from Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia. While it’s …

The 20 finalists for the Visual Effects Oscar race were announced this week and Blade Runner 2049 is still our leader. From our predictions last month only mother! failed to make the cut. Only Dunkirk and The Shape of Water swap spots this month but both Best Picture hopefuls remain in the top 5. In Makeup & Hairstyling, there is …

As was with November, The Shape of Water leads the Original Score race and “Remember Me” from Coco is ahead in Original Song. In Original Score, while the top 4 remains the same, Phantom Thread rockets up into the top 5. Victoria and Abdul makes a move up and there are two debuts – Get Out and Mudbound. In Original …

As we saw in Film Editing and Cinematography, Dunkirk continues to dominate the tech categories and Sound Editing and Sound Mixing is no different. Blade Runner 2049 is still runner-up in both of those as well and there is very little movement in either category at this time. They will likely remain so until the two major sound guilds, the …
