The winners of 2009 Satellite Awards were announced on Sunday in Los Angeles, and when you look at the winners on the television side, you have to like the choices. Most of these shows and actors have been on our year-end "best" lists, and if I were to guess, I think you'll see many of these names on the Prime time Emmy nomination roster.The first thing that jumped out to me was Glee. The Fox musical dramedy was a winner in five different categories, including actors Jane Lynch, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Kristin Chenoweth -- for her guest role -- recognized. And the show was named Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical.
The one surprise was the True Blood was chosen as Best Ensemble, TV instead of the entire Glee cast.
Another interesting difference here was the lack of love for Mad Men. Bryan Cranston and Breaking Bad received wins instead. Overall, here's all the TV winners -- what's your reaction after reading them:
