JAMES VAN DER BEEK, ON THE OTHER HAND, WAS SHUT OUT: The International Press Academy's (they're an offshoot of the HFPA, which gives out the Golden Globes) Satellite Award nominations are out, and there's a lot of huh in there:
  • 6 nominees for "Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama" including Joshua Jackson.
  • DiCaprio nominated for both Lead Actor (for Blood Diamond), and supporting actor (for Departed)
  • Heroes and Dexter nominated for "Best Drama," Lost omitted.
  • Perhaps the most bizarre group of "Best Lead Actress in a TV Drama" nominees ever (including Amanda Peet, Sarah Paulson, Emily Deschanel, and Kristen Bell). Studio 60 also gets nominations for Whitford and Perry as lead actor.
  • Amusingly, since the Satellites don't have a "variety" category, they've nominated Colbert and The Colbert Report as Best Actor in a Comedy and Best Comedy respectively, setting up an EvenStev(ph)en rematch.
  • One big yay is that though Lost was generally shut out, Michael Emerson got a much-deserved supporting actor nomination. Also, the picks of Grey's and Departed as best ensemble strike me as right on the money.
