I’m writing this Golden Globes write-up only a few minutes after the show ended, so pardon any typos that appear here. I’m still shook by Oprah. That was an inspirational, powerful speech that had everyone in that room, regardless of race, creed...
We’ve finally reached the first major award show of the season: the Golden Globes! As I write this, the stars are arriving, dressed in black and standing as one, and we are about an hour away from the show’s premiere. I will be...
I cannot get over how great a year 2017 has been for pop culture. I mean, I saw three films in theaters this week that would be my Top Three of any other year, and yet at the moment, only one is in the Top Three, another is in my Top Ten, and...
Man, things are really heating up this week with the awards race. The past two days, we’ve seen some of the biggest guilds give out their awards for the best of the year: the Producers Guild (one of the biggest indicators of Best Picture) and the...
Break out the copious amounts of booze and slur the names of winners, it’s time for the 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards! This Sunday, Seth Meyers will be leading us through the first major award of the season, which means that it’s time for the...
Well guys, it’s time. The American Cinema Editors’ Awards (ACE) have announced their nominees for 2017, meaning the guilds are weighing in and we’re finally in the home stretch of the season. And quite frankly, they’re keeping things just as...
First off, let me wish you all a Happy New Year! 2017 was certainly a great year for film, and I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you all in the coming weeks. However, for today, we have a more pressing issue: what films we’re...
We have only a few weeks left before the 90th Oscar nominations are announced, and it suddenly dawned on me that I haven’t posted a fully contemplative list of my predictions. So, in response to the list of shortlists I posted on Sunday, and...
As we get closer to the Oscar nominations, we’re going to be hearing more and more about the shortlists that the branches have released. You see, while certain fields (Picture, Actor, Music) allow everything that is eligible to compete for the...
Well, it’s been one helluva 2017, one way or another. Really the only escape any of us had was going to the movies, which I apparently did a great amount, as I saw a grand total of 331 films as of 12:00 today, and may see one or two more before...
There’s nothing more disappointing than when a promising film, particularly a satire, ends up falling flat. Alexander Payne knows how to seamlessly blend comedy and drama, as we’ve seen in Sideways and Nebraska, and he’s already crafted one of...
For those of you who don’t remember, or have blocked it out, there was a movie released this year called mother! The long-awaited newest film by Darren Aronofsky, the film was unlike anything audiences had seen since Luis Buñuel and David...
