YKMN Wins Satellite Award

I think some people here are going to be shocked by this. I have no idea regards the standing and credibility of a Satellite Award, but an award is an award.

    i would like to say something like "in your face non believers" or something but it would be childish and intolerant as well.

    Yes, is the first time i've heard about the Satellite Awards and beats me what or even where are from... but hey, at least is something!

    The nominees i only knew "Upside Down" which is a good song, a slow and acoustic song if i may, totally different to YKMY, but i like the last one
    more.

    Let's just hope that this award help it to get an Oscar Nomination...

    Not sure if 'You Know My Name' is the kind of song that will appeal to the Academy. Regardless, I am pleased it has won an award. Yes, it sounds much more like a traditional rock song than a traditional Bond theme, but I really like it.

    It would appear that a Satellite Award is prestigious. The awards are presented by the International Press Academy. A Satellite Award "honors the most outstanding achievements in the fields of cinema, television and new media".
