I defy anyone who can browse through the nominations for the 2016 Satellite Awards, either at a glance or in immense depth, and find any structure to the ordering of their lists that doesn't immediately imply 'ranked order.' No rly, these are in order of preference. It's hilarious. They're not the only 'critics' group to make this mistake, but since their taste in film is already fairly atrocious, it's reasonable to expect their grasp of formatting to match it. These guys are so on the ball that their awards ceremony, scheduled for February, doesn't even have a confirmed date yet. Just February. This is classic, truly classic.
