Awards Season 2021-22: BAFTA and Critics’ Choice Winners
Today we get two more major pieces of the awards-season puzzle. After this, we’ve only got the guilds left to guide us towards our final Oscar predictions – I expect mine to go up by Friday the 25th at the latest. Sooner if possible, because a few categories are starting to look pretty sewn-up. We’ll…
Awards Season 2021-22: PGA, DGA, WGA, and ACE Eddie Nominations
Today’s the big day for the guilds. Three of the four most important precursors are announcing today. Obviously the BAFTA nominations next week will help us even more, but this should shore up a few front-runners…and possibly clear out a few also-rans.

Awards Season 2021-22: 79th Golden Globes Winners
How’s this for a start: I totally forgot the Globes were tonight until someone posted the hilariously inappropriate tweet above (shared by the official Globes account!) on Facebook. I won’t say I had better things to do, but I won’t say I didn’t. Anyhow, let’s go over the winners right quick: Motion Picture – Drama:…
Awards Season 2021-22: Awards Round-Up 1/3

Awards Season 2021-22: Oscar Shortlists
Shit just got real. The Oscar shortlists are here, and for the first time, we can start narrowing down some of the categories. Namely Makeup/Hairstyling, Score, Song, Sound (the first year they’ve done a shortlist here), Visual Effects, International Film, and Documentary Feature.
