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?
There’s something darkly funny to me, in an “inside baseball” office politics way, that Oppenheimer was the vehicle to Christopher Nolan’s Oscar glory that we all witnessed last night. Not only was this movie the first feature-length film he’s directed with the financial and institutional backing of Universal Pictures, it’s his first movie since Memento […] More
I don’t play him as an alien, actually. I play him as a metaphor. That’s my interpretation. Metaphor for what? I don-I don’t know, yet. We don’t pin it down. We don’t pin it down. The actor who plays the alien speaks of his approach to portraying the alien, interpreting his place in the story, […] More
Sorry about disappearing at the start of the New Year, folks. When you speak out against far-right extremism and treason against the United States, that sometimes attracts unwanted attention from creeps with too much free time on their hands. I want to thank Joey and the team for supporting me during a pretty stressful month, […] More
This weekend will see either Greta Gerwig or Christopher Nolan take home the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Theatrical Feature Film award from the Directors Guild of America. The outcome, admittedly, won’t make that much of a difference as to determining the frontrunner for the Best Director Academy Award since Gerwig didn’t make the cut with […] More
Timing’s a bitch, sometimes. I was so proud of my Best Horror Performances of 2022 article when I scheduled it. I was so confident that it would stand the test of time. Then, the night before it was set to publish and it was too late to change anything, I decided to relent and watch […] More
The last month of 2023! Time to enjoy holiday cheer, YouTuber implosions, and get prepared for the worst and most exhausting election year of our lifetimes. We also have the last slate of this year’s feature films coming out, many of which are among the most anticipated of the entire year, and surprisingly, I’m not […] More
Todd Haynes almost never directs movies that are “only” about their central narratives. He is that rare breed of filmmaker who sets up one kind of story, only to reveal it as a springboard for a more complex cinematic experience. So it makes sense that he would be drawn to May December, making its theatrical […] More
How was your Halloween night, folks? Based on the demographic numbers I’ve seen, I’m pretty sure most of our readers are too old for trick-or-treating (though I certainly wouldn’t judge this generation of young adults for holding onto that childhood tradition for as long as possible), so if you’re at the Halloween party age, I […] More
Note: I have heard from the grapevine that Russ McKamey has a… shall we say, “passionate” following. So if you’re a fan of his, let me be clear: We at Awards Radar are not affiliated with or claim ownership of any intellectual property owned by McKamey Manor. No one here represents Russ McKamey or is […] More
Note: Spoilers ahead for Herd. So, it looks like the SAG-AFTRA strikes will not be ending soon, supposedly the “gap… is too great.” We at Awards Radar continue to stand with the dedicated film performers striking for a better deal, and this conviction is only strengthened when we see how many of them are still […] More
“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior ‘righteous indignation.’ This is the height of psychological luxury, the […] More
I’m sorry, Joey, but you forced my hand: I’m gonna have to file a Motion to Vacate. Yes, you successfully passed a bill at the very last minute to keep the site running so we can meet our basic obligations. But when you took on the job of Editor-in-Chief, you specifically promised us that you […] More
