Independent Spirit, ACE Eddies and Art Directors Guild Awards Predictions: ‘Dune,’ ‘King Richard,’ ‘The Lost Daughter’ Could Triumph
variety.comClayton Davis Three awards ceremonies are taking place the weekend of March 5. On Saturday, a double dose of the Art Directors Guild (ADG) and American Cinema Editors Awards (ACE Eddies), and on Sunday, the Film Independent Spirit Awards, airing on IFC.Paying special attention to ADG and ACE Eddies since there’s Oscar crossover, we’re expecting a couple of surprises at both.
On the ADG side, “Dune” and “Nightmare Alley” should reign triumphant, but “Don’t Look Up” may overcome fellow Netflix property “The Lost Daughter.”At ACE Eddies, there’s a possible upset on the drama side in the favor of “King Richard’s” Pamela Martin, besting Joe Walker for “Dune.” On the other hand, “Tick, Tick … Boom!” is expected to sneak past “Licorice Pizza.” What’s most interesting is that there is very little to no presence of the presumed Oscar frontrunners this weekend, including Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog,” Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” and Sian Heder’s “CODA.”In regards to the Indie Spirits, it could be an afternoon in Santa Monica that Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Lost Daughter” benefits from, likely picking up prizes for best feature, director and screenplay.
