Like it or not, the awards race 2018 is already underway.
Painful as it may sound, the awards marathon is at least a 12-month proposition these days. With Sundance in the rear-view mirror, the talk of potential 2018 Oscar candidates is already underway in industry circles.
Below, Screen runs through 13 films that could be heading to the dance this time next year (the Oscars will be held one week later in 2018, on March 4).

Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig and Christoph Waltz (all previously nominated) star in awards perennial Alexander Payne’s social satire in which a man realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself. Currently in post-production, the film is slated for a December 22 release through Paramount, which is financing. Payne’s last six films have been Oscar-nominated.

Academy invitee Eddie Redmayne in 'The Theory of Everything.' Academy invites 322 new members: 'More diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before' The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has offered membership to 322 individuals "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures." According to the Academy's press release, "those who accept the invitations will be the only additions to the Academy's membership in 2015." In case all 322 potential new members say an enthusiastic Yes, that means an injection of new blood representing about 5 percent of the Academy's current membership. In the words of Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs (as quoted in the press release), in 2015 "our branches have recognized a more diverse and inclusive list of filmmakers and artists than ever before, and we look forward to adding their creativity, ideas and experience to our organization." In recent years, the Academy membership has...

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced this week that the Los Angeles City Council, in a unanimous vote, approved plans for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Construction will begin this summer, and ceremonial groundbreaking festivities will occur this fall.
“I am thrilled that Los Angeles is gaining another architectural and cultural icon,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “My office of economic development has worked directly with the museum’s development team to ensure that the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will create jobs, support tourism, and pay homage to the industry that helped define our identity as the creative capital of the world.”

Strangely dropping a press release on a historic day where the nation's attention is elsewhere, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their annual list of new member invitees this morning. For those who criticize the makeup of the Academy there was some good news and the stark realization the organization still has a long way to go. The Academy has spent the last eight to 10 years attempting to diversify its membership and this year's class mostly reflects that. There are significantly more invitees of Asian and African-American descent, but the male to female disparity is still depressing. Out of the 25 potential new members of the Actor's Branch only seven are women. And, no, there isn't really an acceptable way for the Academy to spin that sad fact. Additionally, It's important to realize the 322 people noted in the release have only been invited to join Hollywood's most exclusive club.

I'm not going to pretend I have some over-arching knowledge or insight when it comes to these two categories, but history and the nature of some of these films suggest to me we have a few films to consider front-runners and several films to consider as possibilities. To begin, Robert Zemeckis' Flight may not depend on an in-your-face sound mix throughout the duration of the film, but when it's required the team that includes William B. Kaplan (Sound Mixer) and Randy Thom (Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Designer), Dennis Leonard (Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Editor) and Dennis Sands (Re-Recording Mixer) truly deliver. Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty seems like another title to pay close attention to as she has brought back the same duo that won both sound Oscars for The Hurt Locker in Paul N.J. Ottosson (Sound Designer, Re-Recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Editor) and Ray Beckett (Production...

Coriolanus is the explosive directorial debut of Ralph Fiennes, which premiered to great acclaim earlier this year at the Berlin Film Festival. We were at the very first screening and our very own Rob Beames awarded it with five stars. Set against the backdrop of a republic caught up in a long and bitter war, Fiennes’s Coriolanus is a tense and timeless thriller based around power broking, political manipulation and the arguments and prejudices of opposing social extremes.
WhatCulture! have teamed up with Lionsgate to offer our readers to pairs of tickets to the Coriolanus premiere taking place on January 5th 2012 at the Curzon Mayfair, time tba. This is an early screening as the film is not out in cinemas until January 20th 2012.

Ralph Fiennes, the versatile English actor, begins a new adventure on 17 March, 2010 by directing his first film, an adaptation of the Shakespearen tragedy Coriolanus starring Gerard Butler, Brian Cox and Vanessa Redgrave alongside Ralph Fiennes himself.
The film chronicles the struggles of the eponymous character, a skilled general who has won an important war for Rome but remains at odds with a restive public. Prompted by his mother, he reluctantly decides to run for the Senate but when rejected, Coriolanus' rage prompts riots that are used as an excuse to exile him. He allies himself with his former enemy, the leader of the enemy city he defeated, and schemes to take his revenge on Rome.
Adapted by Academy Award-nominee John Logan, the picture mixes the classical and contemporary by retaining Shakespeare's language but moving the setting to a contemporary period.
The film's crew is formidable and includes names like Gabrielle Tana,...

Sandy Powell takes gong for The Young Victoria as fellow Brit Rob Beckett wins Best Sound Editing for Hurt Locker
It was not, the commentators all agreed, a vintage night for British talent. But while all lenses were focused on Carey Mulligan and Colin Firth trying to look gracious in defeat, the success of two of their compatriots went almost unnoticed.
Sandy Powell's triumph in the Best Costume Design category meant she has now won more Oscars than Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro – all of whom have just two to her three. "I already have two of these, but I'm feeling greedy," ran the provocative opening line of her acceptance speech, a quip which went down badly at a ceremony where faux modesty rules the day.

Horror fanatics are still buzzing like chainsaws over the Academy Awards’ genre montage. Anywhere there could be a conversation about it online, there was one. Many were upset over the Twilight ‘tweens’ participation, as if their mere presence sent a message about the state of scary in Hollyweird, USA.
A few seemed happy, though, to just get a glimpse of their beloved Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 if only for a few seconds. But many called the selections generic and thoughtless, demanding the likes of Demons and TerrorVision instead (well, maybe not TerrorVision; that was just me).
How about Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer? Re-Animator? It’s Alive? Tombs of the Blind Dead? Coffin Joe? No list is perfect, but with a bit more care and a phone call to any one of us, the Oscars could have elevated that section into a real scream. Or maybe they...

Really though, there were no big surprises in the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Apart from The Hurt Locker winning Best Picture, that was huge.
As this is a movie costume website, however, we shall start with that. It was BAFTA/Cdg all over again as Sandy Powell won Best Costume Design for The Young Victoria. Well, we did say there were no big surprises.
Cannot fault Sandy Powell and her team for their incredibly detailed work on a movie that, frankly, demanded it, but when will the Academy reward costume design that isn’t period? Do casual moviegoers even realise that ‘costume’ is whatever a character wears, and that does not have to include breeches or a petticoat?
Sandy Powell understands the situation, so we will let her classy acceptance speech do the explaining:

We can finally close the book on 2009. The Oscars have come and gone and The Hurt Locker has triumphed, winning Best Picture and five more awards including Best Director and Original Screenplay. I started tracking this season's Oscar contenders way back in July of 2009 and it has been a long road and each year I'd like to think I learn a little something new about the process.
The first thing to realize is that the likelihood the film you believe to be the best of the year most likely will not win Best Picture and may not be recognized at all. What you have to hope for is that quality wins out over mediocrity in whatever category we are discussing.

11.45pm: The 82nd annual Academy Awards begin with a carpet. This carpet is richly red and freshly laundered. It is guarded by security goons and bathed in spotlights.
Up the carpet come the early arrivals: the nominated and the not nominated and the milling dignitaries who don't seem quite sure where they are going. Some simple compass points: the street is behind them and the Kodak theatre is up ahead. After that you're on your own.
Few of these arrivals are as early as Mariah Carey, who breezily explains that she is on "Mariah Time". This presumably means that she can come and go as she pleases, and may well decide to take a nap...

War movie The Hurt Locker was the toast of Hollywood on Sunday night after leading the Oscars with six honours, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Kathryn Bigelow made Oscars history when she became the first female to land the top director honour, seeing off competition from her ex-husband James Cameron in the process.
Calling the huge win "the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow dedicated the award to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world."
The gritty film also claimed the night's sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes - as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.

All the pre-show favourites won the big acting prizes with Jeff Bridges claiming Best Actor, Sandra Bullock Best Actress, Mo'Nique Best Supporting Actress and Christoph Waltz Best Supporting Actor.

Ottosson picking up their first and second accolades at the 82nd annual prizegiving.

A couple of Academy crowd-favorites won the top acting awards, and The Hurt Locker got the biggest prize of the night!

Oscar winners 2010 list is here.
We already wrote about possible winners and competition between- James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, so we can say that we’re not at all surprised that this was Kathryn Bigelow’s night.
The Hurt Locker won 6 Oscars, including honour for Best Movie and Best Director.
So, Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director.
On the other hand, the movie that still sits on the top of box office, James Cameron’s Avatar definetely had a bad luck. The movie won only 3 golden statues in technical categories – Art Direction, Cinematography and Visual Effects.
We can’t help but think that this show really seemed like Bigelow’s sweet revenge.
Sandra Bullock was named best actress for The Blind Side after she proudly attended Razzie 2010 event and took completely different award.

Well, there weren't many major surprises nor many particularly memorable moments, but we still had a lot of fun watching the Oscars here tonight. Thanks to all of you who tuned in for the live podcast and joined us in the live chat over at Ustream [1]. As you may have heard, The Hurt Locker cleaned up, taking home a total of 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, making Kathryn Bigelow the first female director to ever win the award. James Cameron's Avatar, on the other hand, won only for visual effects, art direction and cinematography. All of the acting categories went off as expected, with Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock winning Best Actor and Best Actress, while Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique won the supporting trophies. If there was an upset at all, it was probably The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos), which beat...

It was Kathryn Bigelow's night at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. Her film, "The Hurt Locker" took home six trophies including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. (photo courtesy of ABC.com)
James Cameron's "Avatar," nominated for 9 nods along with "The Hurt Locker" took home three trophies for Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Direction.
Bigelow made history by being the first woman to win the Best Director trophy. She called her winning the "moment of a lifetime," and it is indeed!

Well its all over for the 82nd Academy Awards and I am sure we will have lots to say about the awards given, not received, snubbs, etc. but for now how about just a list of the winners from the big night? The Hurt Locker as predicted by many was the big winner of the night getting 6 total awards including Best Director and Best Picture.

War movie The Hurt Locker was the toast of Hollywood on Sunday night after leading the Oscars with six honours, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Kathryn Bigelow made Oscars history when she became the first female to land the top director honour, beating ex-husband James Cameron in the process.
Calling the huge win "the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow dedicated the award to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world."
The gritty film also claimed the night's sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes - as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.

"The Hurt Locker" has shown its early domination at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards by nailing two more kudos. Having secured the prize of Best Original Screenplay, the war thriller which has swept 2010 BAFTA Awards with six nods grabbed the golden man statuette for Achievement in Sound Editing as well as in Sound Mixing.
Zac Efron and Anna Kendrick presented the honor for Sound Editing to Paul Ottosson and for Sound Mixing to Ottosson and Ray Beckett. In both category, the Kathryn Bigelow-directed "Hurt Locker" overshadowed the works done by the team behind "Avatar", "Inglourious Basterds" and "Star Trek".

After landing the prize of Outstanding Art Direction for Rick Carter, Robert Stromberg and Kim Sinclair, the James Cameron-directed 2009 blockbuster nailed its second award from the Best Cinematography for cinematographer Mauro Fiore.

The biggest night in Hollywood is here and over the next few hours they’ll be tears, cheers and (hopefully) a few surprises as the 82nd Academy Awards are handed out.
The sordid trudge up the red carpet has finished and I’m going to be blogging live as the winners are announced, you can have a look at our Oscars predictions here and follow us on as the Twitter storm rages, or get all interactive with FilmXtra Tom who is video blogging the Oscars here.
My hopes are with Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan and I’m secretly hoping that Tarantino walks off with Best Picture for Inglourious Basterds and Coraline bests Up for Best Animated Feature.
Ok… the time is upon us. I’ll be updating the blog with the winners as I go, as well as providing as coherent a commentary as possible.

By reinstituting 10 best picture nominees, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences set out to shake up its 82nd annual awards show and, in the process, ended up making history.
Summit's "The Hurt Locker," with just $14.7 million in domestic grosses, captured a leading six Oscars on Sunday night and defied the odds to emerge as best picture -- defeating five movies that had grossed more than $100 million each domestically, including Fox's "Avatar," the top-grossing movie of all time.
In fact, though the 10 nominees brought a number of studio movies to the party, the indies still ruled with Fox Searchlight's "Crazy Heart" and Lionsgate's "Precious" also winning key awards.
As part of "Locker's" triumphant night, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to receive a directing Oscar, which was presented to her by Barbra Streisand, who appeared to savor the envelope-opening since her own efforts to break down barriers for female...

Summit's "The Hurt Locker" made more awards season noise at the Cinema Audio Society's 46th annual CAS Awards, where it took the prize for outstanding sound mixing in a motion picture.
The award's recipients were production mixer Ray Beckett and re-recording mixer Paul N.J. Ottosson.
At the event, which took place Saturday at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, HBO's "Grey Gardens" added one more laurel to its crowded trophy shelf as it claimed the prize for television movies/mini-series, with production mixer Henry Embry and re-recording mixer Rick Ash taking the bows.
The episode of AMC's "Mad Men" titled "Guy Walks into an Advertising Agency," took the award in the TV series category, with the trophy going to production mixer Peter Bently and re-recording mixers Ken Teaney and Todd Orr.

I find these two awards to be incredibly important when it comes to predicting the lower half of the Oscar categories, as the Cinema Audio Society (Cas) and the American Society of Cinematographers (Asc) have announced their awards tonight and one isn't much of a surprise and the other is more of a welcome surprise.
First for the Asc, which handed Christian Berger the award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography for his work on the beautifully shot black-and-white feature from Michael Haneke The White Ribbon. I declared the film number four on my top ten and absolutely loved every frame. However, this is probably looked as a bit of an upset as I imagine most any technical award will look when Avatar is involved.
In my last round of predictions I handed every technical award to Avatar as a solid base level to start moving into this final week before the Oscars.

Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker, the favorite to take home this year’s Best Picture Oscar (despite the ongoing e-mail scandal), won for outstanding achievement in sound mixing in 2009 at the Cinema Audio Society’s Cas Awards held at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. Production mixer Ray Beckett and re-recording mixer Paul J. Ottosson were the award recipients. The other feature-film nominees were James Cameron’s Avatar, Neill Blomkamp’s District 9, J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek, and Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This represents one more "technical" Guild award that Avatar has lost this season. Also this evening, Christian Berger won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for his work on Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon. Earlier [...]...
