29th International Press Academy Awards: ‘Wicked,’ ‘The Brutalist,’ ‘Feud: Capote vs. The Swans’ are Top Winners

The International Press Academy (IPA) have announced the winners for the 29th Satellite Awards in both Motion Picture and Television categories.
In motion picture, Universal’s Wicked took home four wins, the most for any film, including supporting actress for Ariana Grande-Butera, costume design, sound and makeup. But it was The Brutalist that won best motion picture, drama, best director for brady corbet and supporting actor for guy pearce.
Fernanda Torres was named best actress in a drama for I’m Still Here while Colman Domingo won the actor counterpart for Sing Sing. In the comedy or musical categories, the lead acting winners were Demi Moore for The Substance and Keith Kupferer for Ghostlight. Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, Nosferatu and Gladiator II all won two awards apiece.
The International Press Academy selects SATELLITE™ AWARDS nominees from domestic and international submissions for 35 categories: 23 Motion Picture and 12 Television. Nominations are derived from advance screenings at film festivals worldwide (i.e. BAFTA, Cannes, Sundance, Telluride, Venice, Berlin, Tribeca, TIFF), as well as consideration screeners sent to individual journalists and/or sanctioned links as available by the deadline. Due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, the 29th Satellite Awards presentation has been postponed. A new date will be announced shortly.
In television, the only double winner was FX’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, which earned awards for Diane Lane in supporting actress for a limited series and a juried win for the cast ensemble. Winners also included Kathy Bates for Matlock, Robert Downey Jr. for The Sympathizer and Patrick Brammall for Colin from Accounts. Series wins were Ripley, What We Do in the Shadows, Hacks and Slow Horses.
