It’s getting down to the wire folks! Usually, the Film Independent Spirit Awards takes place the afternoon before the Oscars, but in this unprecedented time of a pandemic, they switched their usual plan of attack by airing in a prime time slot during the week (a Thursday to be exact). Hey, I don’t care when they air, I promise I’ll be there to watch it. Normally, I would not be catching the Spirit Awards until after the fact, but this year, yours truly was a voting member, so I had to tune in!

Another new awards ceremony format entered the fold, as the SAG awards were also held at home. In fact, unlike most of the other that have tried a loose hybrid, the SAG awards were basically all from Zoom. No one interacted with anyone really.

Awards season is back with the Primetime Emmy Awards this coming Sunday, and even though it won’t look like it normally does, my heart is still so happy that it’s taking place!

While we wait, below are my predictions of who will win and maybe who should win (if I disagree). Let’s roll!

In an over-stuffed and shortened awards season, I was reminded again last night why the Grammy Awards are my least favorite. It was another top 40 showcase that certainly isn’t awarding the “best” of anything, just the most popular and most lucrative. But I digress. Here goes the recap for the biggest night in music.

We’re in the home stretch people! The SAG Awards are the last major awards ceremony before the Oscars, so it’s just one more indicator of what’s to come. This particular show is about actors recognizing actors, so it’s a nice watch and a very organized and classy event.
