  • Oscars 2022: ‘CODA’ Wins Best Picture

    Oscars 2022: ‘CODA’ Wins Best Picture

    It was a simultaneously crazy and unsurprising night. Will Smith punched Chris Rock live on television yet the favorite won in any every category except for Best Animated Short (where The Windshield Wiper beat out Robin Robin and Bestia). Anyway, this was the end of an exciting season that will definitely significantly affect the way I personally pick Best Picture. Also, my predictions were 15/9498 on GoldDerby’s rankings so I’m pretty proud of that as well.

    Well, when one season ends another one begins so look out for my first 2023 predictions next month!

  • PGA Awards: ‘CODA’ Becomes a Very Possible Best Picture Contender

    PGA Awards: ‘CODA’ Becomes a Very Possible Best Picture Contender

    CODA now has won both PGA and SAG, a combination that no film since Birdman (2015’s Best Picture winner) has had. Couple that with a likely win at WGA later today and CODA could very possibly have the trifecta of PGA, WGA, and SAG. That would make it seem like the film is now the Best Picture frontrunner but I’m going to stay with The Power of the Dog for now.

    Encanto triumphed over The Mitchells vs. the Machines in Best Animated Feature and I don’t think it can be beat at the Oscars on Sunday. Summer of Soul’s win also cemented its place as the frontrunner in the Documentary category.

  • Critics Choice Awards: Campion, Smith, and DeBose Complete Their Sweeps

    Critics Choice Awards: Campion, Smith, and DeBose Complete Their Sweeps

    Jane Campion, Will Smith, and Ariana DeBose have swept all four major precursors in their respective categories and are essentially locked for wins come Oscar night. The Power of the Dog has now won the Golden Globe, the DGA, the BAFTA, and the CCA for Best Film and will likely win the PGA as well on Saturday. It’s already indisputably the frontrunner for the win, but if TPOTD wins the PGA, I really won’t be able to see any other film earning the top prize.

    In other news, Jessica Chastain and Troy Kotsur won in their respective categories and I think Kotsur will most probably win as a result of him earning 3 (SAG, BAFTA, CCA) of the major precursor awards. I think Kodi Smit-McPhee needed a win here for me to continue to have him as my frontrunner in Supporting Actor but since Kotsur ended up winning, I think the CODA star is the favorite.

    I was expecting three different actresses to win GG, SAG, and CCA, yet Jessica Chastain has now won the latter two. With these wins, she is automatically catapulted to frontrunner status, though she is easily the most vulnerable of any of the other acting category frontrunners.

    Here are the Critics Choice results:

  • Golden Globes 2022: ‘West Side Story’ Wins 3, ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Best Drama

    Golden Globes 2022: ‘West Side Story’ Wins 3, ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Best Drama

    Though the Golden Globes likely won’t have the weight they usually do as they weren’t televised and are being willfully ignored by the majority of the industry, they are still a major Oscar precursor. The Power of the Dog and West Side Story won 3 Globes a piece and though I’ve always had The Power of the Dog as my predicted Best Picture winner, the Globes are truly the first major precursor to release its picks so far and their selection of The Power of the Dog over Belfast (when I thought the award was surely going the latter) was a surprise that gave me more confidence about having the film as my #1 pick.

  • ‘Licorice Pizza’ Wins Big and ‘The Power of the Dog’ Misses at NBR

    ‘Licorice Pizza’ Wins Big and ‘The Power of the Dog’ Misses at NBR

    The first major precursor of the season just announced its picks. For years, the National Board of Review (NBR) awards have marked the beginning of Oscar season and they continued that with today’s announcement. One startling omission was Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog, which many predicted to win here. It was not named as one of the top 10 films which is something that forces me to remove it from its place as the Best Picture favorite. It is absolutely still getting nominated, it just may not have the kind of support to get the haul I was predicting it to get. Licorice Pizza, on the other hand, gains in standing as its now both one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the year (90 Metascore) and has the first major precursor under its belt. Of course, it’s important to mention that none of the NBR’s Best Film winners in the last ten years except for Green Book ended up winning Picture, but Paul Thomas Anderson’s film gets a boost nonetheless.

    In the last 10 years an average of just over 5 films picked by the NBR went on to become Best Picture nominees. With the expanded field of 10 BP nominees this year I am predicting that around six of this year’s NBR picks will end up getting nominated for Best Picture.

    2011 — 4/9
    2012 — 7/9
    2013 — 5/9
    2014 — 4/8
    2015 — 5/8
    2016 — 7/9
    2017 — 6/9 (The Shape of Water was not picked by the NBR)
    2018 — 4/8
    2019 — 6/9 (Parasite won Best Foreign Language Film)
    2020 — 5/8

    Also, in the last 10 years every eventual Best Picture winner except for The Shape of Water in 2017 was a member of the NBR’s Top 10 Films, which makes it seem very likely that the eventual Best Picture winner from this year will one of the 10 films chosen by the NBR.

    Also, this is slightly irrelevant but I hope the Tragedy of Macbeth winning for Best Cinematography becomes a trend as the camerawork in that film (just from the trailer) epitomizes stunning.

    So without further ado, here are the picks from the NBR.

    Best Film: LICORICE PIZZA

    Best Director: Paul Thomas Anderson, LICORICE PIZZA

    Best Actor: Will Smith, KING RICHARD

    Best Actress: Rachel Zegler, WEST SIDE STORY

  • ‘Belfast’ Wins the TIFF People’s Choice Award; ‘The Power of the Dog’ and ‘Scarborough’ are Runner-Ups

    ‘Belfast’ Wins the TIFF People’s Choice Award; ‘The Power of the Dog’ and ‘Scarborough’ are Runner-Ups

    Finally, we have some truly concrete frontrunners in this Oscar race! Belfast won the TIFF People’s Choice Award (which I predicted, not to brag) and The Power of the Dog (which I also predicted) and Scarborough were named as runner-ups.

    I had already declared The Power of the Dog to be locked for a Best Picture nomination after its performance in Venice and now Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical black-and-white picture Belfast joins that camp.

    Scarborough seems like another in the line of Canadian films that get a runner-up award at the Toronto-based festival (like Beans last year and Starbuck in 2011) so I doubt it gets much Oscar traction.

    Maybe you might not know why I am so confidently proclaiming Belfast and The Power of the Dog as major frontrunners this early in the race so I’ll give you some reasons

     

    Here are some TIFF stats to show you how predictive this festival is:

    The winner of the TIFF’s Grolsch People’s Choice Award has been nominated for Best Picture every year since 2012 and after.

    Every winner of the People’s Choice award since Silver Linings Playbook in 2012 has won at least one above-the-line Oscar (Picture, Acting, Directing, or Screenplay)

    3 out of the last 10 winners won Best Picture (12 Years a Slave, and Green Book, Nomadland).

    The festival also gives 2nd and 3rd place awards and in five times of the last 6 years at least one of those runner-ups go on to get a Best Picture nomination.

    In fact, in the past 10 years, 3 of those runner-ups (Argo, Spotlight, and Parasite) have gone on to win Best Picture.

    In 2019, 5 of the 9 eventual Best Picture nominees went to TIFF, in 2018, 3 of the 8, in 2017, 5 of the 9, in 2016, 5 of the 9, and in 2015, 4 of the 8.

    Out of the last 10 Best Picture winners, 9 went to TIFF (the exception being 2014’s Birdman)

    Here’s a list of People’s Choice Award winners since 2012 that were Best Picture nominees:

    2012: Silver Linings Playbook (Runner-Up: Argo)

    2013: 12 Years a Slave (Runner-Up: Philomena)

    2014: The Imitation Game

    2015: Room (Runner-Up: Spotlight)

    2016: La La Land (Runner-Up: Lion)

    2017: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (Runner-Up: Call Me By Your Name)

    2018: Green Book (Runner-Up: Roma)

    2019: Jojo Rabbit (Runner-Ups: Marriage Story and Parasite)

    2020: Nomadland

     

    As you can see Belfast, The Power of the Dog, and Scarborough join some very distinguished company. The former two will undoubtedly be in the top 3 of my predictions coming later this month and I would say that they are the only two films so far that can be declared locked.

    Though I don’t see this year’s Golden Lion winner happening (pun fully intended) in Picture, four of the last five Golden Lion winners were nominated for Best Picture and two of those were Best Picture winners (Nomadland, The Shape of Water). It’s peak seems to be an International Feature nod (that is if the French academy even picks it which it might not). ‘The Hand of God’ seems like it is more accessible of a film and while it only has a 71% Rotten Tomatoes score right now the fact that it won what is essentially the second-place award at Venice shows that there definitely is support for it.

    Campion likely won the first award on her journey towards a Best Director win in March. The fact that ‘The Power of the Dog’ won a top-tier award at Venice continues to cement its place as the closest thing to a lock this race has.

    I’m also happy to report that Penelope Cruz increased her chances of receiving a Best Actress nomination with her win here. She was already in the Best Actress predictions of many but now her chances seem a lot more concrete. Almodovar’s film will probably not get any other nominations outside of Cruz and International Feature (though Original Screenplay and Director are not crazy possibilities).

    ‘The Lost Daughter’ winning in Screenplay is probably the biggest surprise of the awards. With this award, the film has definitely cemented its place as one of Netflix’s top four priorities this season. Netflix is poised to have 2-4 Best Picture nominees this year with the expanded slate so The Lost Daughter could be seeing a significant push. I definitely have it in my Adapted Screenplay nominations (I added it to my predictions after its Telluride premiere). The reviews are there (it has an 89 Metascore right now) so it could maybe hit Picture, Actress (Olivia Colman), and/or Supporting Actress (Jessie Buckley or Dakota Johnson) in addition to Screenplay if Netflix puts some focus on it.

    Here are the other awards from this year’s Venice Film Festival:

    Orizzonti Award for Best Film: “Pilgrims,” Laurynas Bareisa
    Orizzonti Award for Best Director: Eric Gravel, “A plein temps”

    Lion of the Future – “Luigi De Laurentiis” Award for a Debut Film: “Imaculat,” Monica Stan, George Chiper-Lillemark

    Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Work: “Goliath: Playing With Reality,” Barry Gene Murphy, May Abdalla
    Best VR Experience for Interactive Content: “Le bal de Paris de Blanca Li,” Blanca Li

  • Film Independent Spirit Awards: ‘Nomadland’ Wins and Mulligan Rebounds

    Film Independent Spirit Awards: ‘Nomadland’ Wins and Mulligan Rebounds

    The Film Independent Spirit Awards were announced last night and while there were not many surprises (“Nomadland” won for example), Chadwick Boseman lost to Riz Ahmed in Best Male Lead while Carey Mulligan prevailed in Best Female Lead. The stats surrounding Best Actress and the Spirit awards tell me that only Mulligan and Andra Day now have a chance to win Best Actress since the rule is that if a Best Actress winner is nominated at the Spirits she will win there. Therefore, the race is between Mulligan (the Spirit winner) and Day (who was not nominated at the Spirits). The same rule does not hold as powerfully in Best Actor so don’t count out Boseman yet but I do see a greater opportunity for some one like Hopkins to upset.
