Precursor: 27th Satellite Awards Nominations (2022)

This group has never been a reliable Oscar bellwether and their early release often eliminates newer films from competition, so the fact that Top Gun: Maverick did this well isn’t surprising, but Babylon and The Fabelmans did better than their late releases would suggest. On top of that, where is She Said?
