The Golden Globes SHUT OUT The Butler. Wow. Another surprise was no nomination for James Gandolfini, but they nominated Julia Louis Dreyfus anyway for Enough Said. Greta Gerwig snuck in a nomination. Idris Elba finally gets some recognition for Mandela.

Some people were surprised by The Butler’s presence here, but I don’t see any surprises from them. Movies like Gravity and Her (which are frontrunners for a Best Picture nomination) aren’t large cast films, and wouldn’t get the Ensemble nomination … Continue reading Awards Watch: SAG Award Nominees (Movie Categories)
American Hustle won big today with the New York Film Critic’s Circle. It scored big wins for Best Film, Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Lawrence, and Best Screenplay. American Hustle had stayed relatively under the radar early in the awards … Continue reading Awards Watch: NYFCC Announces The Winners for 2013
Here’s my second “power list rankings” of how films are tracking right now, and how I think the race is shaping up. Gravity and 12 Years A Slave are massive contenders right now. Best Picture 1) 12 Years A Slave … Continue reading Awards Watch- #2
1) Riddick- 18M Weekend, 18M Total Riddick should clearly win the weekend. Vin Diesel is hot off of his Fast sequel this summer, and the Riddick sequel seems to return the franchise to the Pitch Black roots, instead of the … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: Riddick is a clear winner
This weekend bring four new releases, but they’re not nearly as strong contenders as past films. And, as the box office begins to wind down from the summer, can any of the new releases cross 20M this weekend? 1) Kick … Continue reading Box Office Projections: Can ‘Elysium’ Remain #1?

Woody Allen’s film for 2013 is Blue Jasmine. He churns out a film a year now. Pretty crazy. This time he’s teamed up with Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Louie CK, Peter Sarsgaard, and Bobby Cannavale. Continue reading Hot New Trailer: Blue Jasmine

1) Star Trek: Into Darkness- 70.5 weekend, 84.0 total These are interesting times when a 70.5 opening can be considered a disappointment for the Star Trek franchise. That’s because the film was overhyped, and projected initially to do 100M over four days. This is still a strong opening, and regardless of how you feel about the sequel, it’s on track to break 200M, easily. This next week adds some incredibly fierce competition that will knock it down a few pegs, and will set the tone for a more stable final prediction. Right now, I’m guessing somewhere around 240M, but I … Continue reading Weekend Box Office- May 17th-19th
