Precursor: 18th Satellite Awards Nominations (2013)

Whoever programs this organization’s website needs to be replaced. Just like last year, the full list that was posted was incomplete and they slowly added incorrect names as the day wore on. It appears to be complete now as all categories have the same number of categories. After updating the information, the tallies are now accurate. Looking at the nominations, the biggest takeaway is that The Wolf of Wall Street had a particularly weak showing, which may have been because of the film receiving very late screenings. American Hustle did very well, nabbing nominations in all four acting categories while Rush is the odd duck with one major nomination (Best Director) and a slew of tech nods. There’s nothing particularly glaring in terms of omissions with the kitchen-sink approach the Satellites take. Best Picture is largely reflective of where most of us think the race is now.
