Golden Globes season always drags a handful of gambling pictures back into the conversation, and this year is no exception, with Colin Farrell‘s Macau-set drama Ballad of a Small Player landing on Netflix in late October and immediately being talked up as an awards dark horse, even though it isn’t old enough yet to sit […] More
Yesterday, the Toronto International Film Festival came to an end. As always, one of the highlights of the end of the festival is the awarding of the TIFF People’s Choice Award prize. This year, the winner was La bola negra, with I Play Rocky and Being Heumann the first and second runners up, respectively. The […] More
On Tuesday, September 15th, 2026, Variety made the disturbing announcement that Netflix is commissioning a new reality show with a premise identical to the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment: The series, titled ‘The New Stanford Prison Experiment,’ will debut on Oct. 21. The first season will consist of six 45-minute episodes. Why would they move ahead […] More
From heist thrillers to Bond films, casinos have always had a starring role in cinema, and that glamour still draws curious viewers. This article looks at why some film fans go from watching casino scenes to exploring UK casino sites themselves. Why Does the Licence Matter So Much?

The Sunday Scaries are upon us once again! Yes, as the weekend concludes, most of us feel an oncoming sense of anticipatory dread about the week ahead. Anxiety about work manifests itself into a feeling that’s known as the Sunday Scaries. However, we at Awards Radar are here to combat that, by taking back the […] More
I’ve come to accept something. The Toronto International Film Festival changes for me each year. Some years, I attend with a significant other. Other years, I go alone. There are TIFF years where I just try and see as many movies as possible. There are years where I want to mingle and socialize, promoting the […] More
Did you hear the good news from Blizzard last week? They unionized! Hooray! What a victory for at least some of the tech industry professionals who have spent literally decades being abused with punishing hours, unreasonable demands, and unfair compensation. We at Awards Radar support unionizing efforts in all creative professions. Oh, and also they […] More
It is worth pausing on how strange the phrase “video game movie” sounds in 2026 compared to how it sounded in 2016. Joey wrote here earlier this week that Zach Cregger finally cracked the code with Resident Evil. Ten years ago that sentence would have been the setup for a joke rather than a review. […] More
Awards season is not only about watching films. It is about following predictions, reading reviews, comparing performances, debating nominations, tracking guild results, checking shortlists, revisiting screeners, and joining conversations about what deserves attention.

Can you believe we’re officially six years old? Full disclosure, I’m just getting back from the Toronto International Film Festival and in many years completely forget about this anniversary (credit to Steve for remembering that first year, actually). TIFF aside, it’s very surreal to see how quickly time has passed. Six years ago, we launched […] More
Our major news outlets are compromised, incompetently managed by disingenuous ideologues, and ill-suited to the task of properly informing the public in this modern era. Shocking hot take, I know, but I don’t think we’re as vigilant or as harsh as we should be on them when they display particularly outrageous examples of journalistic turpitude. […] More
Folks, greetings and salutations once again from Toronto! Depending on when you read this, I’m either en route or have settled into my Airbnb here in Canada, in preparation for the Toronto International Film Festival. The 2026 edition of TIFF kicks off tomorrow for me bright and early. As always, it’s going to be something, […] More
