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.
The winners will be announced on January 26th.

The year is 1892 and Joseph Donnelly (Tom Cruise) is a poor tenant famer in Ireland, used and exploited by the wealthy landowners. Joseph falls in love with Shannon Christie (Nicole Kidman), the rebellious daughter of his landlord. Shannon dreams of going to America, where rumor has it that land is being given away in the territory of Oklahoma on a first come/first serve basis. Shannon even has some valuable spoons that she can use to raise money once they arrive in America. Joseph, after being challenged to a duel by the Christies’ money manger, Stephen Chase (Thomas Gibson), also decides that heading to America might be a good idea.
