The Oscar race begins in earnest on Monday December 1st. That's when the New York Film Critics Circle will announce the winners of their year end awards. Of course, the Gotham Awards will also make an announcement, but the NYFCC has a far greater industry impact.
The critics cycle of the awards race is about to go full steam ahead. Influential critics from Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Chicago and most of the major cities will voice their opinions and give us year end "Best Of" lists. When the critics are at their best, they highlight outside the box picks and help elevate a lesser seen film into an Oscar contender. At worst, they blindly follow the pack and check off the usual suspects.
Below is a breakdown of the major Oscar precursors so you can follow along. As you can see, December is mostly for the critics. The guilds take over in January, and often serve as a better barometer for how the big show will shake down. This is ever major announcement you should pay attention to until the Academy Awards on February 22nd. Who will survive the long march to the Dolby Theatre?
