12 Years a Slave continues to be the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to nominations. After leading the Spirit Award nominations it now leads the International Press Academy's (Ipa) 2013 Satellite Award nominations with a total of ten noms, followed by American Hustle and Gravity, each with eight nominations. The top five nominees were rounded out by Rush with seven nominations and Inside Llewyn Davis and Saving Mr. Banks with six nominations each. The Satellites, however, are an interesting bunch. As you can see there are several nominations in each category, leaving pretty much no stone unturned. I guess you could say no nomination for Octavia Spencer (Fruitvale Station) is a surprise and, in my personal opinion, with such a large field of nominees I'd like to see Joaquin Phoenix (Her) get a nomination, but that certainly isn't going to be a film for everyone even though Arcade Fire was...

Toronto -- Toronto digital effects and animation giant C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures has closed its doors.
The studio, founded in 1994 by William Shatner, Bob Munroe, John Mariella and Kyle Menzies, gave notice to around 150 employees late Monday that it had suspended operations.
C.O.R.E. Digital, whose CGI animation production credits included Disney's "The Wild," completed work on the animated features "Ant Bully" for Warner Bros. Entertainment and Walt Disney's "Valiant," the Showtime period drama "The Tudors" and Vincenzo Natali's indie feature "Splice."
The company grew in recent years to include four divisions -- C.O.R.E. Visual Effects, C.O.R.E. Toons, C.O.R.E. Film Productions and C.O.R.E. Feature Animation -- and had a producing partnership with Los Angeles-based Radar Pictures.

The quiet has ended. Sundance is running on all cylinders. I sit shotgun while Cynthia Amsden, Splice's courageous publicist, tears up Park City streets in her sporty Kia rental. The Gps spits out directions with the mellifluous voice pattern of a James Bond villain as we weave between snowdrifts and beefy Hummers. First destination is to pick up Sarah Polley. Next, to a series of television interviews.
Sarah is radiant and brilliant. This is Sundance number seven for her and she wears it well. She carries the interviews with a relaxed intelligence and good humor that reminds me of how pleasurable it was to work with her on the set. Her best quip yet, "Splice is a film that is morally indefensible." She says it with pride. Who would have thought that this sterling icon of Canadian cinema is so damn twisted? It fills me with a rare jolt of patriotism.

Sundance is now upon us, which means it is time for Splice director Vincenzo Natali to check in with the second entry in his record of the festival experience.
Making a film is always a long and arduous process. In the case of Splice it is a journey that has taken me over a decade to complete. For the moment, it seems that the ultimate destination is our premiere screening here at the Sundance Film Festival, midnight tomorrow. We had the good fortune to screen once already in the extraordinary Sitges Fantastic Film Festival in Spain. But the North American premiere is really where the film will be evaluated by my peers, the industry and the world press.
At this stage I feel immune to whatever that response will be. I've been carrying this beast for too long. And now to finally birth it here in the pristine snow of...
