Saturn Award 2011 Nominations
I love Saturn Awards! Of course, if you’re fan of science fiction, fantasy and horror film, you love them too.
So, you’ll be glad to hear that Saturn Awards nominations for the 37th Annual Saturn Awards were announced this Wednesday by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror and that we already have a leader!
And it’s Christopher Nolan‘s Inception that led with nine nominations, including best sci-fi pic, as well as Let Me In, Tron: Legacy,Hereafter, Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 which all garnered multiple nominations also.
On the other hand, AMC’s The Walking Dead led all TV series with 6 nominations, while Breaking Bad, Fringe, and Lost with 5 each.
When it comes to actors, we’re not surprised to see that Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds gained their nominations for Best Actor, but what’s also interesting is that Leonardo DiCaprio managed to get nominated both for Warner Bros’ Inception and Paramount’s Shutter Island performance.
And now, ladies! Angelina Jolie nomination for Salt performance, Carey Mulligan for Never Let Me Go, Cecile De France for Hereafter, Ellen Page for Inception, Noomi Rapace for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and of course, great Natalie Portman for her Black Swan role.
When it comes to studios, it’s quite obvious that Warner Bros. has the reason to celebrate, because the studio took 23 nominations. Paramount has 16, Disney 15, while Fox Searchlight and Universal are tied with 10.
The Saturns will be presented in June in Burbank, and you can check out the full list of nominees right here on our site!

As the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films announced the nomination for the 34th Annual Saturn Awards, it was revealed that the Greek epic “300″ was leading the pack by garnering 10 nods. The action adventure drama based on Frank Miller’s graphic novel received gongs for almost all of the feature film categories, including for the action/adventure/thriller film.

Apart from the two categories, the Warner Bros. Pictures’ film also grabbed nods for special effect, make-up, best costume, music and writing. On the performers’ group, “300″ landed Gerard Butler, David Wenham and Lena Headey for actor, supporting actor and supporting actress gongs respectively.
“300″ was not the only movie that successfully gathered multiple nominations for Saturn Awards. The footsteps of Butler’s film was closely followed by “Harry Potter V” and “Sweeney” which got 9 and 8 nominations in respective order. Further, “The Golden Compass”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End” and “Spider-Man” also received 4 nominations each.
