The British Academy Awards were announced this morning with Lincoln, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty scoring best picture nominations.
The directors Guild of America have unveiled their five best director nominees. Ben Affleck, Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow, Ang Lee and Tom Hooper were touted as the best directors of the year.
Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" were honored on January 7th as the best films of the year by two separate critics organizations.
The Best Director race at the Oscars is always among the more intriguing ones.
"Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty" continued to separate themselves from the pack as both films picked up major precursor awards.
Awards season has started to get excitingly unpredictable as there seems to be no clear front runner any longer. Zero Dark Thirty was once being heavily predicted to win the Best Picture award in February, but the film seems to have lost steam in the precursor awards.
Zero Dark Thirty has won a plethora of critics' awards, but the race might start to level out a bit after Argo took the top prize at the San Diego Film Critics.
With the recent premieres of such films as Les Miserables, The Hobbit, and Zero Dark Thirty, the Best Picture Race seems to start shaping up. A number of websites have already posted their top contenders for award season's top prize.
The Oscar Race is officially underway. And a number of hopefuls have already seen their glimmering hopes fade away.
The month of October sees many Oscar hopefuls released as well as many high profile scary movies in time for Halloween.
