The 40th Annual Saturn Award Nominations

I am not sure if I posted these or not, but I'm thinking no, because as always the Saturn Awards sort of just appear. Even for their ceremony, it has the relative date of June. As ridiculous as their process may be, they do honor genres that are largely ignored. If you are like me and are eagerly waiting for the Oscars to the point of insanity, then maybe this list will distract you for at least a few minutes. Except they feature a lot of Oscar nominees so it probably won't help the situation:
