Utah Film Critics Association Awards 2013

It was "Gravity" that was the big winner at the Utah Film Critics Association Awards, winning both picture and director along with cinematography. That makes its second best picture award from US critics. But that wasn't the most surprising thing here. Bill Nighy won supporting actor award for "About Time" which is something I wasn't expecting to happen, ever! Also "The World's End" was a surprise winner of original screenplay. Such out of field choices.

Below is the full list of the winners.

Best Picture: Gravity

Best Director: Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity

Online Film Critics Society Awards 2013

Online Film Critics Society announced their winners yesterday. "12 Years a Slave" and "Gravity" experienced a similar split yet again. Michael Fassbender won for the second time from a critics body. "The Wind Rises" won animated film after a while, "Frozen" was winning many. I really liked their nominations list, they were one of my favorites. Pretty reasonable picks that looks typical because of the recurring sort of go-to picks that most of critics are choosing but still, they were the best with their nominations choices.

Below is the full list of the winners:

Critics Choice Award Nominations 2013

The BFCA announced their nominations and as usual, they look more like what Oscars nominations would be then say... 'Critics Choice'. Their awards ceremony seems more like MTV awards and their choices as I said, never truly reflect what critics usually think. Most of their members are bloggers and Internet awards pundits so well! Anyways, "12 Years a Slave" and "American Hustle" leads with 13 nominations each. I don't care about their extra categories for action/comedy etc but looking at their main slate, it is predictable. If I can even call them snubs then the absence of both the actresses from "Blue is the Warmest Color" and Julie Delpy from "Before Midnight" are a big question mark. Their best picture lineup looks exactly like what Academy would choose if they were to nominate ten films. Other than that, nothing quite great or interesting.

Here is a complete list of all the nominees:

Best Picture:

12 Years a Slave
American Hustle
Captain Phillips
Dallas Buyers Club
Gravity
Her
Inside Llewyn Davis
Nebraska
Saving Mr. Banks
The Wolf of Wall Street

Kansas City critics announced their winners for this year. "12 Years a Slave" was the big winner with six awards including best picture. There was a tie in the director category with the winners being both Alfonso Cuaron and Steve McQueen. Sandra Bullock yet again won another award from critics, alarming! (I mean for Blanchett). But the highlight here has to be the fact that Michael Fassbender won his first award in supporting category for "12 Years a Slave" this year. There was another tie as well between "Frozen" and "Despicable Me 2" in the animation category.

Below is the full list of the winners.

Houston Film Critics Society announced their winners for this year. "12 Years a Slave" won the best picture prize while Alfonso Cuaron won best director for "Gravity".

Both these films were the big winners here, each won four awards. Sandra Bullock was awarded actress prize, "The Hunt" won best foreign language film which is great and "Please Mr. Kennedy" from "Inside Llewyn Davis" was awarded best original song award.

Below is the full list of the nominations and the winners, both were announced simultaneously.

Mid-December Academy Award Nominations 2014 Predictions

With nominations for SAG and Golden Globes recently announced and the ongoing slew of critics awards happening, I guess it has become a bit clearer now. Still there is no formed consensus or a linear path. The nominations and wins are all over the place. Things are quite uncertain which is exactly how I love it. Looking at all the wins, "12 Years a Slave" and "Her" have dominated in the main category. Alfonso Cuaron won the most in director category so far with Steve McQueen not far behind. Some acting categories have scattered wins except for lead actress and supporting actor. The frontrunners seems to be "12 Years a Slave", "Gravity" and "American Hustle". "Her" from the critics side. Anything can happen! This is my second last attempt at predicting the Oscars nominations. The next time I will post these would be a week before the nominations are announced.

Best Picture:

1) 12 Years a Slave
2) Gravity
3) American Hustle
4) Inside Llewyn Davis
5) Her
6) Captain Phillips
7) Nebraska
8) The Wolf of Wall Street
9) Saving Mr Banks
