Presenting The 44th Annual Saturn Awards Winners

saturn awards logo

It was a few short months ago that I shared the nominees for the 44th Annual Saturn Awards. It was my very first time showcasing these particular awards in our narratives but with my continuing to serve up as much of the proper geek stuff in our Pop Culture focuses, this celebration fits right in. The winners were all revealed yesterday so check out who won out in the eyes of the votes in this committee. That’s the folks from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films in case you forgot. To make this an easier list to digest, I’ve left the nominees rundown in as well so you can see who won big out of the batch. It’s very likely that some of your favorites won while others did not. Let’s check it out. I’ll come back at the close for a few additional thoughts.

If you’re a fan of the larger franchise then there is no way possible that you missed seeing “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” during its theatrical run. Of course if you’re one of those folks that likes to get on Facebook lauding how they never saw a single Star Wars film, then I will give you a moment to collect your things and return here at another time. The film continued the story that began so many moons ago and brought in just over $1.3 billion dollars which is pretty damned awesome. The other day we received the details on the Digital and Home release and you can learn all about it and even enjoy the trailer for the product down below. I’ll return at the close with additional editorial.
