Introducing the Gold Diggers Panel for the 2019 Award Season

We apologize for the radio silence and for our sudden disappearance. Without going into too much detail, life had other plans and a full fledge launch of our blog fell by the wayside. But here we are almost six months, launching again and making the most of it.

I’m deeply humbled to present to you the Gold Diggers Panel for the 2019 Awards Season. We have collected a panel of Industry pundits and insiders to guide you through Award Season. For the coming months we’ll be covering various precursors, offering our predictions and voicing our takes on the state of the race, leading up to the Academy Awards. We’ll be back in a few and and share our predictions on tonight’s IFP Gotham Awards.
