Saturn Awards

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror has announced the nominations for the 32nd annual Saturn Awards.  So who made the list?  Well let’s just say that George Lucas is a very happy guy.  Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith leads all nominees with a total of ten nominations.  Sin City, A History of Violence, Serenity, Batman Begins, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang all earned nominations.  Sadly Fantastic Four, The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, King Kong, and Saw II were nominated as well.  The people running the official site for the awards forgot to pay their rent and their site has been shut down – Oops!  Don’t fret though we’ve got the list of nominations.  Take a look…
