The Satellites can't really ever be trusted, neither as Oscar prognosticator, nor as a legitimate film society based on some of the nuttier mentions, and the constant "Who are they?" factor. How else to explain a Screenplay mention for The Tree of Life, which features little to none actual spoken dialogue, an esoteric (or nearly invisible) structure or narrative...visually daring, absolutely...as a master class of writing, probably not.
Still it's a little fun to see such oddball mentions thrown out there as well, such as the score for Soul Surfer getting a random slot, as well as the costume design for Water for Elephants, which is a film that should be getting more mentions for it's technical achievements...it's a very pretty movie for a vacant drama. The rest, a predictable lot...
