2020 Satellite Award winners announced
And with that, the Satellite Awards were done for the year. Two female-directed titles top the International Press Academy's lists for the best films of 2020: Chloe Zhao's Nomadland (also winning Zhao the Best Director award) and Radha Blank's debut The Forty-Year-Old Version - both fine choices. Elsewhere, there were choices equally fine and rather less so, but I'm still just chuckling at the presentation of the Humanitarian Award to Hollywood's most renowned humanitarian Mark Wahlberg... Check out the IPA's 2020 award nominations at this link.
