Apparently Hugh was nominated for an 11th Annual Satellite Award for the obvious category, ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION. I’m sorry I didn’t report this to you earlier, but it didn’t come up in any Google Alert. I found it after a bunch of extra news searches!

Hugh was nominated for his role in Elizabeth I. He was up against Andre Braugher (”Thief”), Ben Kingsley (”Mrs. Harris”), Charles Dance (”Bleak House”) and winner Billy Nighy (”Gideon’s Daughter”). While it was a loss, it was still a huge honor for him to be nominated for starring actor as opposed to supporting, as well as amongst a great group of actors.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t a lucky night for Elizabeth I. However, Hugh’s co-star Helen Mirren still won Best Actress for The Queen. Many, many congrats to her and all the winners. Winners were announced December 17th in Hollywood. For those who don’t know, the Satellite Awards are an alternative to the Golden Globes and Emmys.

So for whatever reason, TREASON, the Earl of Essex fanlisting is not posting any of the new members, not even letting me approve any, so please avoid joining until further notice. I need to reinstall a new fanlisting logging program and everyone will probably need to rejoin. I apologize for this mishap, it was unanticipated as the program was working swiftly for the first four members! Thank you for your patience!
