30th Satellite Awards Nominations
Not much different from other groups we’ve seen except Avatar: Fire and Ash gets more attention than it has previously. I also wonder at what point, they’ll retcon the double nomination for Stellan Skarsgârd. I can’t imagine he should be nominated in both lead and support but who knows with this group. I’m just happy…
