Best Film Editing is a very important category at the Oscars. You need to be at least nominated in the category to win. Last year’s Best Picture winner “Birdman” was an anomalous case since it was edited to look as if it was filmed in one take. So ignoring that year, the last time the…
For the last ten years, Best Original Screenplay has gone to a Best Picture nominee. The last time it didn't was in 2005 when "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" won. If this trend continues, then unfortunately "Ex Machina," my second favorite movie of 2015, is out of the running. "Straight Outta Compton" would also be knocked out, but I'll…
Best Director has quickly become the category where the visionary filmmaker is honored. Ang Lee won for "Life of Pi" in 2013, Alfonso Cuarón for "Gravity" in 2014, and Alejandro G. Iñarritu for "Birdman" in 2015 (his film was the most visionary of the group, at least). However, this year we have the debacle of having…

This is perhaps the most competitive race for Best Picture this decade, maybe even this century. Never has the field been so divided. It seems that every precursor indicator contradicts another and just when we think momentum is building, it is quickly taken away. “Spotlight” maintained the frontrunner status throughout the critics awards even thought…

I think everyone in the category for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series breathed a sigh of relief when Orange is the New Black was deemed a drama series and, in turn, Uzo Aduba was pulled out of contention. With her out of the way, it's going to be a tight race with several women having phenomenal…
The precursor awards of the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Critics' Choice Awards tend not to affect the outcome of the Emmys. However, this year the race for Lead Actor in a Drama Series is looking to go to the winner of at least two of those awards. Kevin Spacey (House of Cards)…
Isn't it refreshing to have a year where an actress category is actually competitive? Lead Actress in a Drama Series was won by the same two women for the past 4 years, but with Homeland on the downswing and last year's winner Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) having to rely on submissions tapes, this year is especially open for a new…
UPDATED 6/15/15 For Best Drama Series, we're definitely going to see the perennial nominees like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, and House of Cards. However, the rest of the category is going to look pretty different from the past. One of the major effects of the new rule changes is going to be the introduction of Orange is…
