With 10 nominations, DreamWorks/Universal’s “Gladiator” and USA Films’ “Traffic” (with nine) led the field of noms for the fifth annual Golden Satellite Awards, to be presented by the International Press Academy at a ceremony held Jan. 14 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Both films are up for kudos in the category of motion picture drama, with the remaining noms including Universal’s “Billy Elliot,” U’s “Erin Brockovich,” Fox Searchlight’s “Quills” and Fine Line’s “Dancer in the Dark.”
Noms for motion picture, comedy or musical, are DreamWork’s “Almost Famous,” Warner Bros./Castle Rock’s “Best in Show,” USA’s “Nurse Betty,” U/Buena Vista’s “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Fine Line’s “State and Main” and Par’s “Wonder Boys.”
Noms for foreign-language pic are Sony Classics’ “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” (China), “Goya in Bordeaux” (Spain), “Shower” (China), “His Wife’s Diary” (Russia), Miramax’s “Malena” (Italy) and Phaedra’s “The Terrorist” (India).
The 10 noms for “Gladiator” include Ridley Scott for director, Russell Crowe for actor in a drama, and Joaquin Phoenix for supporting actor in a drama.
“Traffic’s” noms include Steven Soderbergh for director and Benicio Del Toro for supporting actor in a drama. Soderbergh is competing against himself, since he’s also nominated for “Erin Brockovich.”
Francis Ford Coppola will be feted with the IPA’s newly named Mary Pickford Award for outstanding artistic contribution to the entertainment industry.
Other special achievement awards will be presented to Thom Mount, for his career of service in the entertainment industry; Robert Brown, new talent; “The West Wing,” television ensemble; and “Traffic” for motion picture ensemble.
