Oscars 2024: What to Make of the Gothams and Other Critics Awards to Come
The Gotham Awards were held the other night, and the results were very Film Twitter-friendly. By that, I mean, no straight white men were awarded. In a lineup of names for Lead Performance, they have stuffed them all into a category together, almost as a dare. They're daring voters to pick the straight white guy (if there is one), which...
Shorts: ‘Nisei’ Shines a Light On Family Ties Bound in a Warzone
Darren Harou Rae's Nisei feels personal from the very first frame. The injustices brought on to Japanese-Americans during World War II should still shock and appall the entire country, but this short takes it a step further by honing in on how this tangled history affects one Japanese family. It is a film about identity, forgiveness, and how second generation...
Shorts: ‘The Shepherd’ Spins a Tale of Faith Just in Time for the Holidays
"Everything seems to have stacked up in your favor," an officer tells an excited pilot in Iain Softley's heartwarming short film, The Shepherd. Looking across the North Sea, all you can see is water and sky. The dark blue horizon almost melts with the stars, and the Christmas Eve setting makes for a hauntingly beautiful and lonely image. As we...
Oscars 2024: New York Film Critics Preview, Predictions, Contest!
Tonight are the Gotham Awards. They have the opportunity to platform only two or three winners. Their choice to go "gender neutral" is probably the dumbest thing (like a Christopher Guest self-parody by this point) I've seen an awards body do in genuflecting their virtue. That means two winners are whittled down to one in lead and supporting categories. YAWN....
‘Barbie’ Director Greta Gerwig To Receive Director of the Year Award From Palm Springs International Film Awards
ThePalm Springs International Film Awardshas announced that Greta Gerwig is the recipient of the Director of the Year Award for her critically acclaimed, record-breaking Barbie. The Film Awards will take place on January 4, 2024, at the Palm Springs Convention Center, with the festival running through January 15, 2024. The event will be sponsored by Entertainment Tonight and IHG Hotels...
The Wounded Birds of ‘Memory’
Michael Franco’s Memory begins with a group of addicts sitting in the round discussing their efforts to stay sober and sane. It’s shot in a way that doesn’t feel like a movie at all. The moment is more like standing just outside their circle of chairs and wondering if you’re supposed to be there. It’s that intimate. It’s almost a...
Director Luis Gerard On Death and Brotherhood for Live Action Short Contender, ‘The Wake’
The Wake will keep you on the edge of your seat. What starts as a carefully drawn family drama plunges into a heart-racing thriller in a matter of minutes. On the surface, it is the story of two brothers taking what doesn't belong to them, but it also shows that gun violence knows no bounds. Director Luis Gerard's film is...
Cult Doc Fan? Here are 5 TV and Film Docs to Keep On Your Radar
Megan McLachlan highlights 5 TV and film documentaries that capture the spectrum of cults. With cults on the rise, so are cult documentaries. But how we define "cults" can differ from person to person, including the veneration of dolls, saunas, soul mates, and purpose. The following documentaries and docuseries are some of the most compelling ones to take on the...
2024 Oscar Predictions: Are the Oscars in Trouble?
I drove six days to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter and her new family. By that, I mean her boyfriend's family. There are many of them all living in the Ohio area. While at dinner, the patriarch of the family, who calls himself a "history buff" and a "movie buff," talked about the Oscars. "What happened!?" he said. "Why are...
Happy Thanksgiving – Much to Be Thankful For
Don't worry, I'm not going to do what I usually do this time of year: single people out by name on this site. It's too cringey, of course. Thanksgiving is always a good time of year to thank the staff here at Awards Daily who keep this site running smoothly. We have quite a team of writers on both the...
‘Wish:’ Disney100 Expectations Nearly Crush an Otherwise Inoffensive Family Film
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. Regardless of your thoughts about the corporation today, there is simply no denying the studio produced some of the greatest films in American cinema history. And Disney wants you to remember that. Constantly. That's been readily apparent from the company revisiting its animated greats with live-action remakes. There's no...

How Bill Pullman Became Alex Murdaugh Under the Gun of a Streamlined Schedule, Limited Budget, & Looming Actor’s Strike
Awards Daily talks to Bill Pullman about becoming Alex Murdaugh in Lifetime's Murdaugh Murders: The Movie and how he balanced all the lies against his character's most honest moment. Even though his character committed one of the most notorious crimes in recent memory, Bill Pullman isn't what you would call a true crime fan. “I was probably the last person in...
‘May December,’ ‘Maestro:’ We Take On Two Awards-Buzzed December Releases

Todd Haynes' May December stars Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore in a camp drama that explores the aftermath of an illicit love affair between an adult woman (Moore) and a teenage boy, played as an adult by Charles Melton.

‘Daisy Jones’ Showrunner Scott Neustadter On Why They Jumped 20 Years Ahead in the Finale
Awards Daily talks to Daisy Jones & the Six showrunner Scott Neustadter about the importance of music, his first foray into television, and why the show has a 20-year time jump instead of 40 years. Daisy Jones & the Six co-showrunner Scott Neustadter knew adapting the best-selling novel for the small screen would be a huge challenge. "If we can't...
