Awards Season Update


The American Society of Cinematographers announced their nominees for the 26th annual awards and, once again, War Horse was dubbed the "biggest snub". The surprise picture to steal the nomination away from Steven Spielberg was the Cold War espionage thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. War Horse is on the steady decline and, even though you may not believe me, I've been preaching its downfall since the film's Christmas release.

In other news, Oscar nominations are a little over a week away, but we've got an exciting weekend lined up. Tonight (Thursday the 12th) at 8pm on VH1 you can catch the 17th annual Critics Choice Awards. Also, the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards will air on Sunday the 15th. Both of these highly touted ceremonies will offer some valuable insight into the many difficult to predict Oscar races, so stay tuned. Be sure to check back on Friday for my Golden Globe predictions, and click below to see a full list of nominees for both precursor awards ceremonies:
