The Satellite Award nominations are in and Meryl Streep is leading the pack. Streep was nominated for her roles in both Doubt and Mama Mia!. Competing with Streep in the category of Actress in a Drama is heavyweight Angelina Jolie for Changeling and unexpectedly Melissa Leo for Frozen River. The International Press Academy must have had a soft spot for Frozen River because it was nominated for Best Motion Picture in the drama category as well.
Another name you’re going to hear a number of times at this show is Slumdog Millionaire. This independent film nabbed five nominations including Best Motion Picture in the drama category, Best Director for the work of Danny Boyle, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Original Song for “Jaiho” by A.R. Rahman and Gulzar, Best Film Editing and was named one of the top ten films of the year.
In the comedy category, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist is a main contender. Kat Dennings was nominated for Best Actress In a Comedy or Musical and Michael Cera for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical. The film is also up for Best Motion picture in the comedy and musical category.
The big night will take place on December 14th at Century City’s InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. My fingers will be kept crossed for Best Motion Picture in the animated or mixed media category nominee WALL-E.
