The 2013 Saturn Award Nominees Announced
Reported by Outsiders - 09:52 PM 2013.02.20
 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey received more Saturn Award nominations than any other film released last year, with Life of Pi and Skyfall close behind as the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films today revealed the nominations for the 39th Annual Saturn Awards.Marvel’s The Avengers, The Dark Knight Returns, Looper, Cloud Atlas, Argo and Les Miserables are among the films that have received multiple Saturn Award nominations, underscoring the ways in which genre filmmaking has expanded beyond its roots as niche entertainment. The only major awards dedicated to honoring the finest in genre entertainment in film, television and home entertainment, The Saturn Awards will be presented in June, with the exact date and location to be announced shortly. “From the grand adventure of Les Miserables to the visionary fantasy of Life of Pi and the magical realism of Beasts of the Southern Wild, this year’s films transcended the notion of genre filmmaking and brought us extraordinary visions of exaggerated or enhanced reality, making this one of the most intriguing lists of Saturn Awards nominees in a long time,” said Academy President Robert Holguin. On TV, oft-nominated "Fringe," "Dexter" and "The Walking Dead" were among the leading TV nominees, joined by the first season of "Revolution," which received four nominations including Best Network Television Series. From British imports "Doctor Who" and "Merlin" to the Canadian "Continuum" and the American remake of the Danish series "The Killing," The Saturn Awards TV nominees took on a global perspective. This year, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films introduced a new category to nominate independent films, with seven nominees in the category. “We’ve long admired and respected independent filmmakers and their focused visions, which expand ideas and creativity in the genre field,” Holguin said. The nominees include films, TV programs and home entertainment titles released between February 1, 2012, and February 11, 2013. Among film studios, Warner Bros. received a leading total of 23 nominations, while Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures each received 14 nominations for their ambitious film slates released last year. The non-profit Academy of Science Fiction, Horror & Fantasy Films was founded in 1972 by noted film historian Dr. Donald A. Reed, who wanted to honor and recognize genre entertainment often overlooked by mainstream awards organizations. Here is a complete list of the 39th annual Saturn Award nominations.
