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.

The moment has finally arrived and the Amazing Spider-Man is making his proper mark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his first full feature film “Spider-Man: Homecoming”; We all enjoyed his appearance in “Captain America: Civil War” but now its his chance to shine. The film opens up today in theaters everywhere and for some of the lucky folks in his home town NYC, they already saw it during a special showing a week ago. Check out the official theatrical release poster along with some reminder stuff and then I’ll return with my thoughts.

The Premise: Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker tries to balance his life as an ordinary high school student in Queens, New York City with fighting crime as his superhero alter ego Spider-Man. (thanks Wiki).
