The Satellite Awards are a kind of early Oscars, since they often recognize the early frontrunners with a big couple of uninspired and expected choices, but this year they surprised... with their snubs! Little Women, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood or The Irishman missing Best Motion Picture, Drama, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Actor, Drama (Robert DeNiro) or Best Supporting Actor (Al Pacino) - these are the snubs that shocked me the most coming from an awards organization that usually doesn't surprise me this much.
No matter what, with 10 nominations, Ford v. Ferrari leads the Satellite Awards nominations, with 1917, Marriage Story and Joker also making strong shows in key categories. I know Satellite Awards doesn't translate that well to Oscars, but it's really helpful in the technical categories and the snubs do have some meaning... Not the complete snubs (I wonder if Little Women or A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood were seen so they could vote for them), but the partial snubs - like, The Irishman, which got nominated here and there but missed most of the big ones, or Jojo Rabbit that missed Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical when some consider it a major frontrunner.
