My how September has changed things. When we were wrapping up August, the start of the fall film festival season was upon us. That was where many a movie would debut, hoping to catapult from the festivals to the Academy Awards. Now, with a good portion of festival season already having been completed, it feels […] More
The wait is over folks, we’re here. The fall film festival season is literally underway, with so much of the early speculation about to give way to analysis and reviews. Yesterday, I departed for the Telluride Film Festival, so as you read this, I’m on the ground preparing to, or actually already watching movies. Once […] More
Welcome to August, ladies and gentlemen. We’re now late in the summer and I’m less than a month away from attending the Telluride Film Festival. Yes, it’s now a matter of weeks before Telluride, with the Venice Film Festival kicking off a few days before. Then, it’s right on to the Toronto International Film Festival, […] More
No, Microsoft Co-Pilot, I don’t want you to write this article for me. What little value these pieces have comes from my voice and my perspective that you can’t ever truly replicate. I’m sure it would be “easier,” but letting A.I. write opinion articles for me would slowly kill what little is left of my […] More
I know it feels like we just crowned Anora as Best Picture at the Academy Awards, but we’ve nearly reached the midway point of 2025. Most of the Oscar players are still to be released, and even some have yet to be revealed at all, so we’re hardly in the thick of it. Still, as […] More
Last week, the 78th Cannes Film Festival came to a close. With it, a point in the season has been passed. Regardless of how much Cannes factors into the eventual Oscar race, it feels like a good moment to assess the early awards season field. Now, that doesn’t mean that festival flicks are headed to […] More
Folks, at the end of last week, I debuted my year in advance Oscar predictions piece. In it, I revealed my initial set of picks, while also more or less setting the stage for an unpredictable season. After all, it does seem like there are less overt contenders at the moment than we’ve had in […] More
Readers, after another decently sized break (this just might be how I handle things these days), it’s time to officially begin the initial conversation about the next awards season. Go figure, a bit of good timing shows up here, as the Cannes Film Festival just recently announced their lineup yesterday, helping generate some additional possibilities. […] More
Ladies and gentlemen, the final countdown is on. Zero hour fast approaches. In just a few short days, the 97th Academy Awards will be held. Basically a full year (or more, in the case of some titles) of Oscar buzz and chatter will wrap up with one night of prizes being bestowed on many a […] More
Welcome back to the Awards Radar Podcast. In each episode, Editor Joey Magidson (that’s me!) will be joined by some of the staff of Awards Radar to talk about the latest in film, television, and entertainment in general. The show will obviously have an awards season slant to it, but we won’t forget about other […] More
We have just over a week and change until the Academy Awards, ladies and gentlemen. Oscar ballots were due this week, so voting has come to an end. March 2nd is just around the corner. All that’s left in terms of precursors is the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which we’ll be talking a bit about […] More
Happy Valentine’s Day, folks! Hopefully you’re all celebrating love today. If any film right now is feeling the love, it’s Sean Baker‘s Anora. This weekend prior saw it pull arguably three upsets at the culmination of the critics prize section of awards season in the Critics Choice Awards, as well as two of the most […] More
