Casting a ballot – ASC Awards 2013
by Felipe Rosa
The full list of nominees for the American Society of Cinematographers can be seen here. The ASC Awards will be presented on February 1st. One of the greatest evidence of how crowded 2013 was with great films (along with the tie at the PGA Awards), a 3-way tie produced an unusual seven nominees, and all of them are great, deserving work.

Casting a ballot – WGA Awards 2013
by Felipe Rosa
The full list of nominees for the Writers Guild Awards can be seen in their official website (or, alternatively, here). The WGA will be presented on February 1st.

Thoughts on the Oscar 2013 nominations
by Felipe Rosa
The Nomination Morning for the Oscars (for those that follow it with any interest, of course) are always a mix of excitement and disappointment. There will always be surprises; if good or bad, it depends on how you feel about each particular case. Here’s the full list of nominees, from the AMPAS website.
