On today's episode, I break down who's been winning the major critics' awards and how that is shaping the race for Best Picture, Actor, Actress, and the Supporting Categories. I also touch on which animated features are looking like they'll get Oscar noms.

Next week, I'll revisit the Golden Globe nominees and dare I say it, make some predictions! Any thoughts on who might win? Who got snubbed? Or who's name I keep pronouncing incorrectly? (Sorry, Wunmi Mosaku!!)

On today's episode, I talk about the original and adapted screenplays making the most waves and share some of the surprises from the recent critics' awards nominations.

Next week, I'll showcase the Animated Films getting buzz as well as delve deeper into the critics' awards winners and nominees. I'll also revisit the Best Picture race and see who has had staying power and who is fading away.

On today's episode, I look at all the folks creating buzz in the supporting categories. These might be the most unpredictable races so it's really fun to dig into who is sitting where and getting what! I also recount who has won recognition from the National Board of Review, the NY Film Critics Circle, and the Gotham Awards.

On today's episode, we look at the race for Best Actress and Best Actor. While there are certainly a few actors who are already locks, there are others who will emerge more clearly as the critics' awards announce their nominees and winners. Who will make the top 5? I try and answer that while also talking about those who are right there in the mix.

On today's episode, I talk about which Directors seem to be "sure things," which Directors are making waves, and which ones are towards the back of the pack, but after next month's critics' awards start rolling in, could ascend to a higher placement.

On today's episode, I break down the films that are getting the most for buzz for Best Picture. There are at least three which seem like locks, then a whole list on the "most likely" list, then a few that are just waiting for their shot... and some critics' awards love.
