I cogitate it ’s safe to say that fan are glad awarding ceremonies like the Saturn Awards subsist - because they recognize the fun blockbuster ( and other less - competent films ) that the Oscars would n’t even give a second glimpse . But , at the same time , there is surely a fair amount of the normal " honour bait " films to be found on this lean too - includingBlack SwanandThe Fighter .
On the TV side of thing , it ’s great to seeLoststill being recognized for its 6th and final time of year - which aired over nine months ago ( in movie and TV news program full term that ’s more like nine years ) . Perhaps the Saturn Awards will give the show a farewell theEmmysfailed to give it last year ? Other shows I ’m well-chosen to see constitute areThe Walking Dead(a no - brainer , excuse the pun),Dexter , Breaking BadandFringe .
As with every awards observance , this leaning contain some honestly baffling nomination such as bothClash of the TitansandThe Twilight Saga : Eclipsefor Best Fantasy Film , andThe Wolfmanreceiving a nominating speech for Best Horror / Thriller . As much as this is about recognizing more devotee - well-disposed film , the parentage has to be draw somewhere - nominees should still be competent films ( and television receiver shows ) .
The 37th Annual Saturn Awardswill air sometime this June ( exact date TBA ) .
