2017 New York Film Critics Circle Awards Winners

Early today the east coast group started to vote for their annual winners and seems that there is no visible trend from an independent film award and the two major film critics, as for example Best Film category in Gotham went to Call Me by Your Name, in NBR to The Post and the NYFCC to Lady Bird.  There are high probabilities current award season will be interesting and perhaps even unpredictable which makes all exercises a lot more fun.

The NYFCC also announced that this year's ceremony will be dedicated to the memory of late film critic, filmmaker and author Richard Schickel.  The awards will be handed out in New York in January.

In previous years the call-by-many "harbingers of the Oscars nominations" score have been on the lower side but last year score was on the positive side with La La Land, Moonlight and Manchester by the Sea got top and many awards.  So, if this year group repeats, Lady Bird, The Florida Project and Call Me By Your Name could get nominations.

My most expected win in the current award season was finally honored by this group, I really hope Faces Places run to finish line ends with Oscar for Best Documentary and I'm not alone as many in both side of the ocean are hoping for the honor that will give Agnes Varda the second Oscar in the same year.

#Oscars2018 Makeup and Hairstyling Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that seven (7) films remain in competition in the Makeup and Hairstyling category for the 90th Academy Awards. On Saturday, January 6, 2018, all members of the Academy’s Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for final Oscar consideration. Seems that this year there were not many films that qualified for this category and as far as what is happening up-to-today, this category is the first that will not have five nominations. But what puzzles me most is the reason why behind NOT including films like The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049 or even Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Perhaps is because now lines between VFX and makeup blur, especially for us viewers and for those who are trying to guess something in current awards season. The films are listed below in alphabeti...

43rd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Winners

The so-called " most powerful " group of American critics voted their 2017 awards and top award went to Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name which is a surprise in the sense that film in America was the object of negative reviews, especially those related to film story being about " gay statutory rape " (sic). Sigh. Then, under group standards believe voting was "fast" as only took five-and-a-half hours and I recall voting for longer than six hours, lol.  Still was too-long for me to follow live. Most interesting were the awards given to female actors as it's great to see outstanding Sally Hawkins being honored as she has had many-many great performances along her career and Laurie Metcalf being recognized for her work in the big screen. No doubt that group liked Guadagnino's film but thanks to them Guillermo del Toro's latest film has been put in the awards race.  Notorious is how once again the west coast film critics honors differ from...

90th Academy Awards Foreign Language Films Submissions

10/6/17 Update - AMPAS surprised many of us with what we can call an early release of the submitted and accepted films to the foreign language film category as usually takes them 10 days or more to announce the complete list. But more interesting is the amount of countries that had films accepted, a new record (!) with 92 submitting films this year, which are seven (7) more countries/films than last year's 85. There are too many great films in list and too-many films, period. Hopefully new "simplified" process will allow more films to be seen by more people, but believe is just a hope as know that films with strong promotion will have better chances than those without it. Already have received several invitations to private screenings in LA and yes are for films from the great filmmakers as this year list has several master filmmakers like Haneke, Akin, Ostlund, Martel, Roskam, Holland, Lelio, Bartas, Trier, and Zvyagintsev plus perhaps lesser known but already collec...
