The 2023 Australian Academy Of Cinema & Television Arts (AACTA) International Awards Nominations

This year I am not doing the regionals, only Trfecta - NYFCC, LAFCA, NSFC (plus NBR) and two major British ones - London and UK. Every major city has its own critics circle and given they have no overlap with the major industry awards, at some point it becomes irrelevant. Interestingly enough, with changes in BAFTA and Golden Globes voting systems, this may be the first year in which AMPAS has no counterpart in terms of voting. It could mean the precursors may become less reliable, but I doubt we'll see another Andrea Riseborough case soon enough.

Critics Choice Award (CCA) Nominations

Variety's Directors on Directors December, 13: Michael B. Jordan (CREED III) & Ben Affleck (AIR) December, 14: Bradley Cooper (MAESTRO) & Spike Lee December, 15: Greta Gerwig (BARBIE) & James Cameron Decemebr, 18: Ari Aster (BEAU IS RIGHT) & Yorgos Lanthimos (POOR THINGS) December, 19: Ava DuVernay (ORIGINS) & Michael Mann (FERRARI)

Countries do submit movies for Golden Globes, but they are not limited to one, as with Oscars. *** So happy those sickos of HFPA embraced MAY DECEMBER (three acting noms + best comedy) and SALTBURN (two acting noms).

Me too. I agree with that - Nolan relied more on practical tricks than VFX. That said, it is the race for visual effects, and only equalizing it with solely CGI is at least for me, very narrow-minded. OPPENHEIMER is visually masterpiece and it seems the cinematography race is almost decided.

I was waiting for an official confirmation of the list, especially since there's no OPPENHEIMER on it. Yeah @Ran, it is rare. The last animated movie to have been nominated for VFX was in 2016: Kubo and the Two Strings

National Board of Review Awards - WINNERS

Due to the writers' and actors' strikes last few months, Primetime Emmy Awards have been rescheduled for January, 15th. This means that all the big TV awards will be given this winter -Emmys, Globes, Actors (SAG Awards) and CCA TV awards. While the usual winter slate has its own timeline, it is worth mentioning that for the ceremony that is due in January, Emmy eligibility period was between June 1st, 2022 and May 31st, 2023. A lot of great TV... Let's hope all these award-giving bodies do the good work this winter. *** AWARD SHOWS GOLDEN GLOBE WINNERS SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS - NOMINEES DGA NOMINEES PGA NOMINEES CRITICS CHOICE AWARD (CCA) WINNERS EMMY WINNERS AACTA International Awards WINNERS DGA WINNERS WGA NOMINEES GUILDS WINNERS SAG WINNERS SPIRIT WINNERS PGA WINNERS ACE, GMS, ASC WINNERS WGA WINNERS

Oh, I planned to open it later today. I saw CCA TV noms are out and Emmys are pushed for 2024, so it will be even more exciting this year to follow TV award season.

Variety's Actors on Actors: Margot Robbie (“Barbie”) & Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”) Robert Downey Jr. (“Oppenheimer”) & Mark Ruffalo (“Poor Things”)

Despite having zero chances to win, mescal was my favorite in his category last year. AFTERSUN is such an amazing movie, a true gem and he is sublime. *** MAY DECEMBER SPOILERS

The British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) - WINNERS

The Film Independent SPIRIT Awards - NOMINATIONS

Personal favorite is SHAME reunion of Mulligan and Fassbender. One of the gravest sins of Academy in 2010s was not nominating both of them in their respective categories for that masterpiece. A lot of interesting pairings. Naturally, Barbenheimer couldn't have been avoided. Also interested in Bening and Moore. As always, will watch all Couple of omissions, but I suppose KOTF crowd will do THR Roundtables. *** In other news, MAY DECEMBER is finally available on Netflix. The first reactions are considerably more positive than the first Cannes reviews from May. Netflix has the usual Oscar bait in MAESTRO, but I wouldn't be surprised if MAY DECEMBER becomes their greatest hit of the Oscar season. Whoever is in charge, I do hope they won't make the same mistake like last year betting on the wrong horse. Portman and Moore know how to properly campaign and Melton could easily become the strong contender to challenge big names in his category.
