Amsterdam Has A David O. Russell Problem – Oscars Watch

On paper, Amsterdam has the right pedigree to be a serious Oscar contender but the film has a David O. Russell problem. Amsterdam is described as “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction for a timely, cinematic experience.” It is a “crime epic about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.” 20th Century Studios released both…

CODA Makes History at Oscars, Bob Saget Snubbed

CODA became the little film that could and went from Sundance darling to Oscar-winning Best Picture of the Year in over a year. In winning Best Picture, the Sundance award winner also became the first streaming movie to take Best Picture of the Year. Remember when Steven Spielberg said streaming movies shouldn’t win or something like that? I’d say that the Academy just proved him wrong. Netflix had Best Picture nominees in recent years with…

94th Oscars: The Winners (Live Updates)

The 94th Oscars are here and make their return for the first time in two years to an in-person ceremony at the Dolby Theatre. In a perfect world, I’d start publishing updates in about an hour from now. However, the powers that be are screwing up the broadcast by treating eight categories like crap. We will not let them forget this disaster. It will not do anything to increase viewership. If anything, it is causing…

CODA Is Peaking At The Right Time – Oscars Watch

While the traditional Oscar rules do not bode well for the film, CODA is starting to peak at exactly the right time ahead of the Oscars. The film critics have spoken and now the guilds are having their say in the matter. Both SAG and PGA gave the film’s awards campaign the biggest boost that it could get. The fact that CODA won WGA is potentially good news. What we need to factor here is…

ASC Awards: 36th Annual Winners

The 36th Annual ASC Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography took place during a hybrid event at the ASC Clubhouse. The event was both in person at the ASC Clubhouse in Hollywood and live-streamed online. It wasn’t without technical difficulties as the live-stream went down at times. One thing is clear from tonight’s results: we’ve got ourselves an Oscars race. While Netflix would like Ari Wegner to become the first female to win Best Cinematographer,…

2022 Producers Guild Awards Gives CODA A Boost

The 2022 Producers Guild Awards gives CODA a boost as the film just might very well become the little film that could. The winners were announced at the annual award show on Saturday, March 19th at the Fairmont Century Plaza. Much like the Oscars, the PGA uses a preferential ballot. The fact that the show takes place while Oscars voting is going on could certainly have a big impact on what happens. History shows that…
