As per usual with the Satellite awards, I can't make head nor tail of these nominations. In an apparently random order that may or may not be their order of preference, these off-the-wall nominations are as unexpected as they are tame, as ripe with good choices as utterly baffling ones. Nobody pays much attention to the Satellite awards though, which is why i haven't spent too much time reformatting and typing these nominations out. But here they are anyway.
