HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Fox's Moulin Rouge was the big winner Saturday at the Intl. Press Academy's sixth annual Golden Satellite Awards.
The musical took eight prizes, including nods for director (Baz Luhrmann), score (Craig Armstrong) and two for Catherine Martin: art direction (shared with Ian Gracie) and costume design. In the musical/comedy races, the picture won for best film, actress (Nicole Kidman), actor (Ewan McGregor) and supporting thesp (Jim Broadbent).
The Intl. Press Academy is a breakaway group from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., the group that organizes the Golden Globes.

Miramax's In the Bedroom garnered three nods: drama picture, adapted script and actress (Sissy Spacek).
Universal/DreamWorks' A Beautiful Mind and USA Films' Gosford Park earned two wins. Six other films nabbed one apiece.
