NINE tops Golden Satellite Nominations

[Michael Bennett]

The first of the year end movie award nominations are here. Like other early pre-cursors, there are likely films this group did not see (AVATAR, INVICTUS) and awards are always to be taken with a grain of salt. Still, fun to see support for NINE and other Broadway based enterprises (Kristin Chenoweth, EVERY LITTLE STEP for doc).

Wow! Congrats to all, particularly Daniel, Marion and Penelope!

How wonderful they all already won an award before the ceremony has even taken place (Best Ensemble)!

I can't stop playing the soundtrack!

Katherine Heigl getting a nomination for The Ugly Truth? Instant discredit.

However, I will thank them for giving The Princess and the Frog those three nominations (See that movie ASAP).

CPD, they're kind of like the Golden Globes of the Golden Globes. Or maybe even the Golden Globes of the Golden Globes of the Golden Globes.
