The 17th Satellite Awards, honoring the year's outstanding performers, films, television shows, DVDs, and interactive media, were presented by the International Press Academy at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles on December 16, 2012. Nominations were announced on December 3. Satellite nominations in the motion picture categories have been pared down from 22 to 19 classifications; the change reflects the merger of drama and comedy under a general Best Picture heading.[1]
The film Silver Linings Playbook won the most awards with five, including Best Film. The most television awards went to Homeland and The Big Bang Theory, with each winning three, including Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series, respectively.
