‘Star Wars’ Disney Plus Shows Earn 10 Nominations at Saturn Awards
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films has revealed the nominations for the 47th edition of the Saturn Awards (in their 50th anniversary), which include 10 nominations for Star Wars shows. The eligibility period spans almost two years this time around — the last edition’s eligibility ended on November 15, 2020, which allowed shows like The Mandalorian season 2 to be up against Obi-Wan Kenobi in some categories.
The Star Wars nominations include:
- The Bad Batch was nominated for Best Animated Series.
- The Mandalorian was nominated for Best Science Fiction Streaming Series, and Best Guest Performance in a Streaming Series (Rosario Dawson).
- Obi-Wan Kenobi was nominated for Best Limited Event Streaming Series, Best Actor in a Streaming Series (Ewan McGregor), Best Supporting Actress in a Streaming Series (Moses Ingram), Best Performance by a Younger Actor (Vivien Lyra Blair), and Best Guest Performance in a Streaming Series (Hayden Christensen)
- The Book of Boba Fett was nominated for Best Limited Event Streaming Series, and Best Actress in a Streaming Series (Ming-Na Wen).
The ceremony will take place on October 25 and be live streamed through ElectricNOW.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as movies from Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
