DIVERSITY DOMINATES AT SAG AWARDS; SPOTLIGHT WINS ENSEMBLE CAST

We have ourselves an Oscar race! The feeling that The Big Short could have the Best Picture category locked down after its PGA award a week ago was upset tonight by closest rival Spotlight's Ensemble Cast prize at the Screen Actors Guild awards. SAG rarely gives this award to a film that doesn't win one of its four individual acting categories, but this was far from the biggest surprise of the evening: Idris Elba's Supporting Actor win for Beasts of No Nation (one of two for Elba, including a TV award for Luther) makes him the first person in history to win a SAG award for film without a corresponding Oscar nomination. Pair that with the fact that only one TV award for which no POC were nominated went to a white person, and you have quite the statement to the Academy... Check out SAG's film nominations here, and their film awards below:

Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role

Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant)

THE BIG SHORT, ROOM AND STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON WIN ARTIOS AWARDS

Here are the results of Artios Award voting by the Casting Society of America. Seven categories, seven different winners as no film was eligible to compete in more than one field. Major awards season players intermingle with lesser-celebrated titles, which is a pleasant and refreshing change from the usual slate of usual suspects. Check out the CSA's nominations for 2015 here, and their award winners below:

THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY LEADS 2015 CHLOTRUDIS AWARD NOMINATIONS

Eight films make the Chlotrudis Society's Best Movie slate for 2015, one more than the usual. It was a good year for films, if you believe the Chlotrudis voters - not that you'd need them to tell you that! The Duke of Burgundy leads all 47 nominated films with seven nominations; the only other film to score more than four mentions is Tangerine. Reflecting the high quality of eligible titles and the wonderfully varied tastes of society members, you'll find a number of curiosities among their choices: Carol appearing only in Best Director and a few tech categories, Room turning up in Best Editing only, and seemingly rogue mentions for Demet Akbag in Winter Sleep, and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl up for its screenplay. No word yet on when the winners are due to be announced; due to this, points will be taken for the SOS Critics' Tally now, and amended when winners are revealed. Check out the nominations below:

2015 OSCAR NOMINATIONS ARE ABOUT AS SHIT AS YOU EXPECTED, YEP

On the bright side, there were 10 nominations for Mad Max: Fury Road, recognitions for World of Tomorrow, When Marnie Was There, Carol in Adapted Screenplay, The Look of Silence in Documentary, Theeb in Foreign Language Film, Charlotte Rampling in Actress for 45 Years, and Tom Hardy... but for The Revenant. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's latest pile of expensive, deeply dissatisfying movie masturbation leads the nominations with an outrageous tally of 12; double that of Carol, which is left off the Best Picture list. And thus, onto the dark, dark side of these Oscar nominations: no POC in the acting categories for the second consecutive frame, no women directors represented in either Picture or Director, no Carol nor Cinderella in Production Design, no Inside Out in Picture nor Original Score (I mean, not even in Original Score?!), and Spectre's utter dirge of a theme song is nominated for Original Song. Fuck this shit. The Oscars are on the 28th of February. Roll on March!

ROOM IS THE VANCOUVER FILM CRITICS CIRCLE'S CANADIAN FILM OF THE YEAR

After no film won more than one international award each with the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, voters made their true favourites much clearer with yesterday's Canadian category awards.

CAROL MISSES BEST FILM NOM FROM CENTRAL OHIO CRITICS

Welcome back to awards season 2015-16, where it's business as usual with critics groups, at least those outside of major cities. Despite featuring ten films on their Best Film list, the Central Ohio Film Critics Association has failed to find a slot for Carol. And yet they seem fairly keen on the film in other categories (save Adapted Screenplay, alas...). No idea when they reveal their award winners. Have a look:
