The Winners of the 94th Annual Academy Awards
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has just finished handing out their awards, with the somewhat shocking result of "CODA" taking the top prize of Best Picture, along with Best Supporting Actor (Troy Kotsur) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Sian Heder). The win is rather shocking as it breaks all kinds of long-standing stats for the Best Picture award, technically making it the biggest upset in the category in the last several decades. That said, it's a great pick fo


Predictions for the 94th Annual Academy Awards
With the Oscars less than a week away, it's time to lay down my official predictions. However, this year I'm doing things a bit differently. With so many categories that appear to be locks, it seems like it would be a whole lot easier to list the predictions in their entirety (minus the shorts, which have nothing to base predictions on) and provide notes on categories that are still in contention after, so let's get right to it: Best Picture: The Power of the Dog Best Directo

The Winners of the 33rd Annual Producers Guild of America Awards
The Producers Guild of America (PGA) has just finished handing out their awards for 2021, with a huge shocker of an ending that saw "CODA" taking the top prize, beating assumed frontrunner "The Power of the Dog." Looks like the race for the Best Picture Oscar is not quite as finished as it seemed. The big question now is whether "CODA" will be able to overcome the multitude of obstacles in its way in order to be the big winner on Oscar night, including not having a Directors


The Winners of the 27th Annual Critics' Choice Awards for Film
The Broadcast Film Critics Association has just finished handing out their Critics' Choice Awards for 2021, and, once again, it comes as no surprise to find Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog" taking the top prize. The film also won Best Director (Campion), Best Adapted Screenplay (Campion), and Best Cinematography (Ari Wegner). "Belfast" and "Dune" followed right behind with three wins each. There's now only one more stop in this awards season before the big Oscar finale,


The Winners of the 2022 BAFTA Awards
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has just finished handing out their awards for 2021, with Jane Campion's "The Power of the Dog" claiming the top prize of Best Film. The film also received Best Director for Campion. Things went mostly as expected, with "Dune" winning the most awards with five (surprisingly losing Best Editing to "No Time to Die"). However, there was at least one enormous surprise at this year's ceremony when "CODA" came out of nowhere t


The Winners of the 74th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards
The Directors Guild of America has just finished handing out their awards for 2021, with the entirely expected result of Jane Campion winning the big prize for "The Power of the Dog" and therefore confirming her front-runner status for the Director Oscar (as well as tomorrow's BAFTA Award). Tomorrow is another big day for awards season as both the BAFTA and Critics' Choice Awards will be taking place (the former in the mid-afternoon and the latter in the evening), so be sure

The Matrix Resurrections: An Overly-Familiar Return to the Series (4K/Blu-ray)
The Film: For many years, after the completion of the original "Matrix" trilogy, there had been rumors of yet another film being developed for the series, with many wondering how anyone would be able to continue the story that had seemingly wrapped up at the end of the third film. 18 long years later, we've gotten our answer with Lana Wachowski's "The Matrix Resurrections." With such a long duration between films, it also left many wondering if the clock had run out on such a
