\n\tThe marathon to the Oscars officially begins next week, when five influential organizations unveil their selections \u2014 setting the early tone for a season that promises heavyweight contenders, late-breaking surprises and no shortage of pundit hand-wringing.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Gotham Awards (Dec. 1), New York Film Critics Circle (Dec. 2), National Board of Review (Dec. 3) and Los Angeles Film Critics Association (Dec. 7) make up the first major wave of precursor announcements. Sprinkled between them are the Film Independent Spirit Award nominations (Dec. 2), the Critics Choice film nominations (Dec. 5) and the occasional smaller regional critics\u2019 citations \u2014 all adding to the noise as the season ignites.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhile each group has its own identity, influence and taste profile, three of them \u2014 NYFCC, NBR and LAFCA \u2014 are considered part of the so-called \u201cBig Four\u201d critics\u2019 awards (the National Society of Film Critics completes the quartet when it announces on Jan. 3). Only three films in history have swept all four: \u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d (1993), \u201cL.A. Confidential\u201d (1997) and \u201cThe Social Network\u201d (2010). Only \u201cSchindler\u201d went on to win the Oscar for best picture.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis coming week could also determine how Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s action epic \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d settles into the season. As the assumed frontrunner, its performance across these groups will be watched closely \u2014 though a miss (or even multiple misses) would hardly render it \u201cdead.\u201d Instead, depending on who emerges victorious, it could clarify the shape of a spoiler. That might be Chlo\u00e9 Zhao\u2019s \u201cHamnet,\u201d anchored by presumed best actress leader Jessie Buckley; Ryan Coogler\u2019s gothic horror drama \u201cSinners,\u201d featuring a transformative Michael B. Jordan; or Josh Safdie\u2019s wild-card period comedy \u201cMarty Supreme,\u201d showcasing Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis marks the third year since the Gotham Awards \u2014 hosted by the Gotham Film & Media Institute \u2014 eliminated its $35 million budget cap. The change has broadened its slate and, occasionally, its Oscar impact. Past Gotham best feature winners include \u201cSpotlight,\u201d \u201cMoonlight\u201d and \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once,\u201d all of which ultimately won the Academy\u2019s top prize. Still, the Gothams often set the tone rather than foretelling destiny, signaling which titles are entering the conversation with heat. PTA\u2019s $130 million-plus vehicle set the all-time Gotham noms record with six (much to the disdain of indie filmmakers who are trying relentlessly to garner some notice). Many believe the film will clean up. However, with jury of five people, there\u2019s no telling what they\u2019ll select.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe NYFCC is among the industry\u2019s most prestigious critics\u2019 groups, though its choices rarely mirror the Academy\u2019s ultimate victor. The membership gravitates toward deep, textural narratives \u2014 think Todd Haynes\u2019 \u201cCarol\u201d \u2014 and often sidesteps the presumed Oscar frontrunner. The group has aligned with the Academy\u2019s best picture winner only once in the past decade, with Michel Hazanavicius\u2019 \u201cThe Artist.\u201d The group is also vulnerable to recency bias, memorably selecting \u201cAmerican Hustle\u201d in 2013 just one day after screening it. That could bode well for James Cameron\u2019s \u201cAvatar: Fire and Ash,\u201d the third installment in his franchise which will screen for critics for the first time on Monday. Many of the NYFCC membership have been publicly euphoric about PTA\u2019s starry ensemble joint. That could kick things off accordingly.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe National Board of Review often manufactures early-season momentum that evaporates by the time Oscar voting arrives. Historically, NBR has favored Warner Bros. films, particularly those directed by Clint Eastwood. Over 40 years, most NBR best film winners have gone on to earn at least an Oscar nomination for best picture \u2014 exceptions include \u201cGods and Monsters\u201d (1998), \u201cQuills\u201d (2000) and \u201cA Most Violent Year\u201d (2014). The 1980s included two notable misses: \u201cEmpire of the Sun\u201d (1987) and \u201cBetrayal\u201d (1983), the latter tying with \u201cTerms of Endearment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tSince the Academy expanded the best picture lineup in 2009, NBR and the Oscars have intersected only once with \u201cGreen Book\u201d (2018).<\/p>\n
\n\tAnd last year was a particularly rough one for NBR\u2019s predictive power. Of its major winners, only Kieran Culkin (\u201cA Real Pain\u201d) went on to win the Oscar. Best film winner \u201cWicked\u201d and adapted screenplay winner \u201cSing Sing\u201d secured nominations, but the rest \u2014 director Jon M. Chu, Daniel Craig (\u201cQueer\u201d), Nicole Kidman (\u201cBabygirl\u201d), Elle Fanning (\u201cA Complete Unknown\u201d) and the original screenplay \u201cHard Truths\u201d \u2014 failed to materialize with the Academy.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Los Angeles Film Critics Association tends to favor bold filmmaking, and its best picture winner can often becomes a significant awards-season force. Last year\u2019s pick, \u201cAnora,\u201d joined a lineage of LAFCA champs that later triumphed at the Oscars, including \u201cThe Hurt Locker\u201d (2009), \u201cMoonlight\u201d (2016) and \u201cParasite\u201d (2019). LAFCA\u2019s choices for best director often intersect with the Academy as well, with six winners since 2009 \u2014 including Kathryn Bigelow, Bong Joon Ho and Jane Campion \u2014 eventually taking home the statuette.<\/p>\n
\n\tSelected by roughly 575 voting members, the Critics Choice Awards tend to reflect broader industry consensus. Last season, \u201cAnora\u201d used a Critics Choice best picture win to reassert itself after being shut out at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards \u2014 momentum it carried all the way to the Academy Awards. Three acting winners \u2014 Adrien Brody, Kieran Culkin and Zoe Salda\u00f1a \u2014 also repeated at the Oscars.<\/p>\n
\n\tAll this speculation also comes with a word of warning: early rarely equals most accurate. The earliest precursors can deceive. Before Guillermo del Toro\u2019s \u201cThe Shape of Water\u201d won best picture, it failed to crack NBR\u2019s top 10 and was omitted by other early groups, leading many pundits to declare the film finished. Could a similar pathway present itself with his newest effort, \u201cFrankenstein?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAlso noteworthy, none of the \u201cThe Lord of the Rings\u201d films ever made NBR\u2019s top 10 lists either. And early critics\u2019 citations can convince awards watchers that a contender is emerging \u2014 only for the Academy to pass on it entirely, as seen with Regina Hall in \u201cSupport the Girls\u201d and Rachel Weisz in \u201cThe Deep Blue Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tAs these five organizations roll out their selections next week, industry watchers will begin parsing patterns, tea leaves and perceived momentum. But history suggests patience: the race doesn\u2019t truly take shape until the guilds weigh in come January. Until then, next week is merely the opening act \u2014 lively, unpredictable and essential for understanding the terrain ahead.<\/p>\n
