The Social Network added another batch of awards-season kudos to its growing tally on Sunday, winning best dramatic movie, best director, and best adapted screenplay at the Satellite Awards. Directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, Social Network had already won best picture awards from L.A. and New York critics organizations and the National Board of Review. Inception also fared well on Sunday, winning Satellites for best score, cinematography, and art direction. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World also reared its head at the Satellites, taking the prize for best comedy/musical and earning star Michael Cera best actor in a comedy/musical.
Colin Firth (Dave Karger’s current No. 1 pick to win the Oscar) won best actor in a drama for his work in The King’s Speech, while Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) won best dramatic actress. Anne Hathaway (Love and Other Drugs) took best actress in a comedy/musical.
In the TV categories, Breaking Bad (EW critic Ken Tucker’s pick for best TV show of 2010) won best dramatic show, while The Big C took the prize for best comedy/musical. Bad’s Bryan Cranston won TV actor in a drama, and Connie Britton won best dramatic actress for her work in Friday Night Lights. Laura Linney won best actress in a comedy for Big C, and Alec Baldwin took the comedy actor award for his role in 30 Rock.
Is there an awards shoe EVERY DAY this time of year?!? Overkill setting in and there’s still 2 months to go until the Oscars.
Yes, there seems to be a new award bestowed daily…. but who cares as long as one finally gets around to honoring Connie Britton’s work on Friday Night Lights. Simply the best actress on the best show on television. Congratulations, Connie!
yay for connie britton!
Jajaja!!! These are more like it for Inception. I bet it will be Oscar’s great “loser” with a bunch of Major nominations and either zero wins or only wins in technical categories. What an overrated piece of pseudo-”intelectual” tripe.
Why aren’t they listing the full list of awards?
Good for Connie! She deserves a lot more!
