Best Picture Through the Decades: 2010’s

Welcome to my new series, where I go back in time and watch every Best Picture Oscar winner in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards! I’ve seen a handful of them already (mostly the more recent ones), but for many it will be my first time reacting to them. I plan on sharing my thoughts on each film and eventually putting them all together in one mega-list ranking them all! Let’s start off easy with the decade we just finished and work our way backwards, shall we?

Best Picture Oscar Power Rankings: November Edition

We’re inching closer to the heart of awards season, and as more and more big titles are released and early precursors announce their nominations, we have a clearer picture of what will be present at the 92nd Academy Awards. What films have moved up or down the power rankings since last month? Let’s dive in!

“Ford v. Ferrari” Film Review: Style over Substance

Ford v. Ferrari (2019) is the latest from James Mangold, director of such hits as Logan, Walk the Line, and 3:10 to Yuma. It stars Christian Bale and Matt Damon in the true story about the ’66 Le Mans, in which Ford Motor Company attempted to beat Ferrari at their own game in the infamous Formula One race. It has drawn serious heat ever since its Telluride debut and continues to be considered a contender for Best Picture and Best Actor. How does this adrenaline-fueled biopic stack up with previous racing flicks that fell short of awards season glory?

My (Post-Festival) 2020 Oscar Predictions

It’s still early in awards season (if you can even call it that at this point), but by now most or all of the major awards players have premiered on the festival circuit. I’ve already given my thoughts on the results of the major film festivals (Sundance, Cannes, Venice, and TIFF), but before I see most of the films for myself, I want to give my updated early predictions. Here are my best guesses for how the major categories will look at the 92nd Academy Awards next February!

My (Way-too-Early) 2020 Oscar Predictions

The Oscars are still seven months away, but it’s never too early to make totally baseless and incorrect predictions for the ceremony! I did the same thing last year and was pretty off-base on most categories while getting fairly close on a few. Let’s check in on the state of the major races before awards season starts, and begin tracking how it all goes down!

“Rocketman” Film Review

Rocketman (2019) stars Taron Egerton as Elton John in the biopic of the singer’s life. It is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who famously stepped in for Brian Singer to finish directing last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody, a film that is sure to draw comparisons to this one. It this the next crowd-pleaser that could crack the Oscars?
