Saturn Award Nominees Announced, 300 Scores Big![]()
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films has announced it’s 34th annual nominations for the Saturn Award. In case you’ve never heard of them, they’re a non-profit dedicated to promoting genre entertainment. Which means if you’re sick to death of being bored by lame movies like Michael Clayton, they’re the people you go to in order to see Optimus Prime get his proper due.
And get his due he does in this year’s batch of nominations, with Transformers nominated for Best Science Fiction Film. Leading the nominations this year though is 300, with a stunning 10 nominations in various categories. Close behind is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with 9, and Sweeney Todd with 8. Musicals aren’t normally the domain of the Saturns, but I guess they’re making an exception for Depp’s murderous barber. They’re more than just movies though. They also hand out awards to television and even DVD. Lost and Dexter lead the television nominations with 7 and 5 nominations each.
