Go The Last Exorcism. Yeah @ Nicole getting recognized here. Happy for Please Give getting the Altman award. These are unusually consistent? The only shock might be no Julianne Moore. But they seem to really love Michelle Williams. I think this is her 5th nomination.

Winter's Bone is looking like the indie of the year, besting The Kids Are All Right, Get Low and Black Swan. Nice surprise.


And here are the genius nominees for the Satellites. They are no longer the Golden Satellites. More or less, if you were in a film this year, you were nominated. I think my name might even be on there?

Award Season '10 continues tomorrow with the National Board of Review. They love Warner Brothers and Clint Eastwood and veteran actresses.
