TONS of NON-sci-fi, fantasy & horror films by Mullah Omar	Feb 21st, 2008 02:18:27 AM
It says on their web page that "The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films is a non-profit organization devoted to honoring, recognizing and promoting genre entertainment." But looking at that huge list, I don't get that feeling at all - at least not the focus on sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. Nominations for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN? EASTERN PROMISES? THERE WILL BE BLOOD? BLACK BOOK? For mainstream awards, sure, but here? I feel like this group is diluting their purported focus on sci-fi, fantasy, and horror by including so many films and categories that don't fit into those genres.
The Saturn awards haven't meant anything in years. by skywalkerfamily	Feb 21st, 2008 02:20:38 AM
When shows like Smallville are nominated, you know you suck.
GO FOR IT, SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES by darrenspool	Feb 21st, 2008 02:20:51 AM
Can't believe that piece of crap Cloverfield is considered top sci-fi. Fucking Ghost Whisperer? Geezzz.
How does 28 Weeks later not get a horror nom? by Gwai Lo	Feb 21st, 2008 02:29:53 AM
That's just the first thing wrong with this silly list. They need to narrow down their categories.
Ghost Rider for best horror? by sonnierjay	Feb 21st, 2008 02:32:31 AM
And Sunshine is the only movie to deserve that Best Science Fiction Film nomination. I didn't there was an award show I could care less about than the Emmy's...

are you fucking serious? the action scene with the dragon was epic. did you see it in imax 3d?
While intrigued at the logic behind Saturn by elab49	Feb 21st, 2008 04:51:16 AM
nominating, frankly, most of these films - where the hell is Toby Jones's nomination for Mist?
No nomination for Ray Wise as the Devil? by Darkman	Feb 21st, 2008 07:27:33 AM
And when the fuck did AUGUST RUSH become a genre film? Somebody on the nomination committee must've had a fuck-buddy working on that film.
dumb classifications by spidercoz	Feb 21st, 2008 08:47:25 AM
so FF is sci-fi, Spidey is fantasy, and GR is horror? maybe, not really, and no. all these stupid self-flagellating awards need to go away.
Lost... by The Zombie Rapist From Hell	Feb 21st, 2008 09:09:33 AM
The third season was easily the best on TV last year, and it should win in every category it's nominated in... Except for the best actor award. That one belongs to Dexter!
kind of odd nominations. by Jonah Echo	Feb 21st, 2008 10:19:05 AM
I loved Sweeney, but don't actually feel it belongs in that horror category. Give that nom to "Behind the Mask" perhaps, or better yet "Bug". They were both this year right? And if you do away with Sweeney, The Mist has it hands down. Ghost Rider? Are you serious? It wasnt horror, and barely a movie for that matter. Sunshine is the only thing that really stands out there in it's category, and even it was far from perfect but I think that's sadly the nature of sci-fi right now. Im keeping my eye for the next big thing, but nothing is showing. It's so bad we are all slobbering over Cameron's movie and that's still pretty far off. Where is all the good sci-fi? Anyway, the action/adventure category is odd. There Will Be Blood considered the same genre as 300? Interesting. Again, if this genre was condensed to it's actual occupants it would be a standoff between ultimatum, 300 and Yuma and based on my own geekly preferences, probably 300 would be last man standing.
Some sad lists up there by password.swordfish	Feb 21st, 2008 10:29:55 AM
The science fiction pool looks especially lame this year. I haven't seen Sunshine, but from what I've heard it's the only movie on that list that was remotely good. Sad year for genre, looks like (or as others have pointed out, maybe it's just poor nomination selections).
The Saturn Awards should be the Oscars this Year!!! by loc420	Feb 21st, 2008 12:27:33 PM
For real, I would rather watch this than the Oscars. Hooaa Hoooa 300 FTW!!!
No Transformers? by skywalkerfamily	Feb 21st, 2008 03:12:02 PM
But Pirates gets nominated?
John Cusack, 1408 by Series7	Feb 21st, 2008 10:19:36 PM
For those of you who say John has never made a bad movie, this movie was the worst movie I saw last year. Even more boring then Knocked up. Can't wait to see the next Mikael Håfström joint. Directors not from hollywoodland, take note stay in your home countries.
Also by Series7	Feb 21st, 2008 10:21:17 PM
If Family Guy doesn't win, then this show is just as rigged as the Grammies. Blue Harvest was awesome and Harry you are a wussy for not enjoying the hell out of it. Now don't get Penisy.
Glad to see by Series7	Feb 21st, 2008 10:25:34 PM
Viggo Mortensen getting more nominations for his best Ed Harris impersonation (and his balls). Eastern Promises would have been good if I knew it was part of some trilogy or the pilot. Rather then a movie that didn't really go anywhere like History of David Cronenberg's recent movies.

Yeah agreed Sci-fi was not really looked at this year. Though Sunshine does make up for that. I feel 07 was a sad year overall. Also how you going to put like every animated movie made this year, but not TMNT? TMNT was fucking amazing, awesome action, and not the killing of childhood memories like Transformers. TMNT looked better then Shrek 3, Surfs Up and Meet the Robinsons combined, plus like it came out of no where. I went in thinking that it was going to be DTV bad, but it was an awesome movie. The fight between Leo and Ralph was just as good as Butler and the giant mutant thing.
