Here Are The 2024 Satellite Nominations


Yesterday, the nominations for the 28th Annual Satellite Awards were announced.

The Satellites began as an off-shoot of the Golden Globes and they’ve never really escaped the shadow of the Globes (and the Globes themselves have never really escaped the shadow of the Oscars.)  That said, the Sattelites are usually interesting, if just because they usually have a few nominees that haven’t previously been considered to be contenders.  That’s certainly the case this year, with nominations for Cabrini, The Order, and LaRoy, Texas.
