Stardate 03.07.2017.A: The Saturn Award Nominations Are Out ...

3/7/2017

I'm not much of a fan of awards shows.  A few years back, I pretty much gave up on them, largely because everyone involved in them decided to take the opportunity of a public appearance supposed to be focused on arts and entertainment to lecture me about politics.  Still, if there's any one I still follow fairly closely then it'd be the Saturn Awards.  For those unawares, the Saturn Awards are dedicated to the recognition of films in the realm of Science Fiction and Fantasy, so it's a natural that SciFiHistory.Net would kinda/sorta keep them on our radar.

​In any event, the nominations for the 43rd annual Saturn Awards are out, and I'm copying and pasting the featured film selections below from their website.  Take a gander at how many great genre entries there were in the last year.  It's certainly an impressive list, and that bodes for some fierce competition.
