Every mainstream offering has its alternative. The Oscars have the Independent Spirit Awards. Sundance has Slamdance. And, the Golden Globes have the Satellite Awards? Never heard of them? Me neither. Hosted by the International Press Academy, as opposed to Globe host - the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Satellites honor a slightly broader, more unexpected line-up of television greats. Some of the more intriguing names to turn up among the nominees included Laura Kightlinger for the Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman, Julie Benz for Dexter (pictured) and Stephen Colbert as a "best actor" nominee for The Colbert Report.
