The International Press Academy has announced the nominees for the 13th Annual Satellite Awards. Before anybody panics, remember last year, the IPA failed to nominate There Will Be Blood (presumably for lack of having seen it yet), and in 2006 Letters From Iwo Jima wasn’t nominated (probably for the same reason).
