Hey there my friends I am back with another awards nominations rundown with the 46th Annual Saturn Awards. As you’ve seen over the course of the past year, I’ve posted a LOT of these kinds of things because with the pandemic still darkening our doors, its better to keep you entertained inside the confines of your home watching videos on the streaming channels, cable networks or even traditional television. These nominations come care of The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films and since we talk about a lot of that stuff on PiercingMetal.com I am posting this awards show stuff here as opposed to over on “The Chronicles”. The pandemic found the time window extended a little bit as well from July 2019 to November 2020 and even included the streaming and VOD (video on demand) stuff as well. Let’s take a look.

* The Film Nominations *

Best Comic to Motion Picture Release:
Birds of Prey
Bloodshot
Joker
The New Mutants
The Old Guard

Best Science Fiction Film Release:

Earlier today the nominees for the 2021 Grammy Awards were announced and I always like to dissect that lengthy summary to spotlight what has been nominated for the music that we are more in tune with here on the PiercingMetal website. That means I am taking the Rock, Metal and Alternative out of the pile and putting it on the side for your edification. Here now are the Grammy nominations for these categories which I culled from their resources directly.

Best Rock Performance – For new vocal or instrumental solo, duo/group or collaborative rock recordings.
SHAMEIKA – Fiona Apple
NOT – Big Thief
KYOTO – Phoebe Bridgers
THE STEPS – HAIM
STAY HIGH – Brittany Howard
