Satellite Award for Best Motion Picture
(Redirected from Satellite Award for Best Picture - Drama)
The Satellite Award for Best Motion Picture is one of the annual awards given to motion pictures by the International Press Academy. The category was gone through several changes since its inception, specially related to the genre of the film awarded.
- From 1996 to 2010, two categories based on genre were presented, Best Drama Film and Best Comedy or Musical Film
- In 2011, the IPA pared down its Satellite Award nominations in the motion picture categories from 22 to 19 classifications; the change reflects the merger of drama and comedy under a general Best Picture heading, including the Best Actor/Actress headings and the Supporting headings.[1]
- In 2016 and 2017, two winners were announced within the Best Motion Picture category, one for a major studio film and other for an independent film.
- In 2018, a stand-alone category for independent film was presented.
