Formerly an associate writer for the now-retired Awards Circuit, Robert Hamer has returned to obsessively writing about movies and crusading against category fraud instead of going to therapy. Join him, won't you, in this unorthodox attempt at mental alleviation?
Hi Blade. No, the other Blade. The one that just got removed from Marvel’s release schedule earlier this week. I saw that news and wanted to… check on you? See how you’re doing? There’s no shame in needing to talk. Or just vent. I certainly wouldn’t fault you for that. It’s been a rough five-and-a-half […] More
Happy October, everyone! Once again, I had the honor of participating in Patrick Gratton’s Gold Digger Awards recognizing the most notable achievements of films released between January and June of this year. Of the nominees, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two led with sixteen nominations total. Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers trailed in a close second with fifteen […] More
The phrase “Viggo Mortensen is right” is not something I have had the opportunity to say often – or, really, at all – in recent years, especially with his ongoing defensiveness over the indefensible “I worked for a famous person once and we totally became bestest friends” historical fan fiction Green Book and lack of […] More
As we enter the final four months of 2024, and as we desperately try to find ways to take our minds off of what is surely destined to become the single most exhausting and aggravating year we have ever had to put up with since… well, the last election year, we can take solace in […] More
Happy National Dog Day! What better time than now to look back at one of the most prestigious awards available to canine actors and reminisce about the very best of them? No, the Palm Dog is not an “official” award from the Cannes Film Festival – it was originally started as a joke by film […] More
Note: Spoilers ahead for a movie that debuted in theaters when Bill Clinton was still President of the United States, that specifically became famous for its twist. So. Yeah. Not sure if this warning is even necessary, but better safe than sorry. Twenty-five years… wow, when you put it that way, I cannot help but […] More
Today was supposed to see commencement of principal photography in Guadalajara on Todd Haynes’ new movie, an untitled romantic thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix as a corrupt police detective who begins a torrid love affair with Top Gun: Maverick’s Danny Ramirez in the 1930s in California before fleeing to Mexico. Phoenix taking on the lead role […] More
I guess I have been ruminating on this for long enough. Okay, here we go… Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs is, so far, the most talked-about and popular horror movie of the year, with critics declaring it a masterpiece of the genre and a guaranteed classic. One of those critics being Awards Radar’s own Editor-in-Chief. In Joey […] More
Summer! Oh god it is getting hotter. So, so much hotter. All over the world. And the best part is, this is the coolest summer of the rest of our lives! Yay, accelerating climate catastrophe! So what can we turn to as we seek refuge in cool, air-conditioned theaters from the blistering heat over the […] More
Wow, 1979 has been quite a year so far, hasn’t it? And no, not just because our President got attacked by a swamp rabbit just six weeks ago. It’s been pretty memorable for movies, too. Flaws and all, I’d go to bat for The Deer Hunter as a largely justified pick to be the latest […] More
Happy Spring, readers! Although it feels like Spring came around much sooner this time. I wonder why that cou-oh, right. Well, at least we have the Cannes Film Festival to look forward to next month. As well as the 76th Writers Guild Awards, Society of the Snow very likely sweeping the 11th Platino Awards, and […] More
Disclosure: Clayton Davis was the founder and editor of a now-defunct film awards website called Awards Circuit, which employed both me and Awards Radar Editor Joey Magidson as contributing writers for a number of years. Though we at Awards Radar remain on good terms with Mr. Davis, he was not consulted on this op-ed and […] More
