The Saturn Awards, now in its 34th year, is like a geekier version of the Academy Awards. Given out by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, the Saturn Awards, although more low-budget and less glamourous than the Oscars, has quite a few ‘big-name’ directors and actors receiving the award. Among them are Ron Mayer, Brian Grazer, Bill Paxton and Sam Raimi.
This year 300 leads the way with nominations in the categories of Best Adventure Thriller Film, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Direction, Writing, Music, Costume, Make-up and Special Effects.
