We’ve entered Awards Season ladies and gentlemen. This means one thing and one thing only, Benji and I are back sharing our predictions throughout the season. We could be shaping up for one of the most interesting races of the season. All of that said, we share our predictions in the Best Picture and Director category.

It’s rather crazy we’ve made it this far into the season already and we’ve got so much time until the actual nominees are announced in January. That said, the races are starting to take form and we have the forthcoming Critics Choice, Golden Globes and Critics Group’s that will start to elevate certain films and performances.
