  • Atlanta Film Critics Circle Winners Reaction

    The Atlanta Film Critics Circle announced their winners, and in a atypical fashion, they announced nominations in only two categories honoring breakthrough performance and breakthrough directing. Charlotte Wells continued her dominance of the breakthrough directing (also earning SIX points from BIFA, which does not have one of my reaction posts) while Austin Butler got the…

  • Sunset Circle Winners Reaction

    This is a short reaction, mostly because the Sunset Circle Awards are included in Red Carpet Rosters not because they are an established regional critics association (they’re not) but because the principal voting members put out Oscar predictions that I rely on to generate pre-draft rankings (Erick Weber’s Awards Ace and Sasha Stone’s Awards Daily.)…

  • Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) Reaction

    I gave my reaction after the nominations came out, so this will be a short reaction for the simple fact that there are less winners than nominees (duh, right?) I don’t know if there were any surprises, per se, but there are still some things to unpack from the winners here. For a full list…

  • The State of the Documentary Race

    The International Documentary Association (IDA) announced their nominations on November 11th and the Critics Choice Association announced their winners for the Documentary Awards (CCDA) on November 13th. We’re now up to four major nomination announcements for documentaries: Critics Choice (which announced winners yesterday), Gotham, Cinema Eye, and International Doc Association. Not one documentary had their…

  • European Film Awards (EFA) Nominations Reaction

    The European Film Awards (EFA) nominations were announced earlier today, and I have some housekeeping items because of it. We learned that the technical category winners will be announced November 23 ahead of the awards gala on December 10. This means the technical categories will count in Matchup #1. They do not nominate these, so…

  • Hollywood Music in Media (HMMA) and British Independent Film (BIFA) Nominations Reaction

    We had two very different nominations announcements in as many days recently, so let’s try to discern if there is any insight to be gained from these announcements. Although these two voting bodies couldn’t be more different, the commonality is they award more points to players on the waiver wire than on actual teams. This…

  • The Most Complicated Category: Documentary

    Documentaries have a complicated history during the film awards season. Last year was somewhat an exception with Flee and Summer of Soul getting nominations and wins at pretty much every single awards announcements. Flee was a triple threat by being an animated international documentary and Summer of Soul was nearly as valuable getting more wins…

  • Oscars Death Race Podcast Appearance

    I was on the Oscars Death Race Podcast talking Red Carpet Rosters, Titanic, and Schindler’s List. Give it a listen!

  • Gotham Awards Reaction

    The Gotham Awards are unpredictable and quirky, which is exactly why it’s a perfect way to kickoff the regular season at Red Carpet Rosters. Although, it was expected that films like Tár and Everything Everywhere All at Once would be well represented, other films like Aftersun and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair pulled…
