31st Saturn Awards

Last Updated on July 28, 2021

It’s Oscar time- more of a popularity contest than rewarding outstanding films and filmmakers. So who gives a rat’s ass about the Oscar when the nominees for The 31ST Annual Saturn Awards from THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FICTION FANTASY AND HORROR FILMS are out, giving credit where credit’s due.



There’s not one Best Film of the Year, but five categories- each giving props to the best films of that genre. Here’s a list of the nominations for Best Films of the Year:



BEST SCIENCE FICTION FILM:



The Butterfly Effect

The Day After Tomorrow

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

The Forgotten

I, Robot

Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow


BEST FANTASY FILM:



Birth

Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! An award show that looks at the entire year of films, not just the last 2 months! ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, and THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT were both snubbed out of the bigger awards because they were released early in the year- not here, baby!
