Similar to theScream Awards , I really dig the Saturn Awards because of the type of pic they celebrate . Often with awards like the Oscars and the Golden Globes , purely fun pic that have every bit of meritoriousness as the serious ones get left out .
Here ’s just some of my quick intellection on who and what ’s been nominated : I ’m happy to see so many nominations for my favorite showLost , rack up nine in full ( nice to see Josh Holloway finally get acknowledgment for his acting ) . I ’m delighted to see Sam Rockwell get recognition for his fantastic operation inMoon(I was really steamed that he did n’t get nominated for an Oscar ) .
I ’m a trivial ( no , A LOT ) suspect ofThe Book of Eli , Transformers 2andWolverinegetting name for Best Fantasy Film ( andDistrict 9didn’t ? ! ) andNew MoonandThe Boxgetting name in the Horror class ( were either of those even repugnance picture show ? ) .
Which Saturn nominations do you agree and disagree with ? Which nominees are you hoping snag profits come this June ?
TheSaturn Awardswill be presented on June 24th , 2010 .
