Melissa Benoist is a nominee this year for the 44th Saturn awards. She is being considered for “Best Actress on a television series.” The show “Supergirl” has also been nominated for “Best Superhero Television series.”
The Saturn Awards
Many people feel they do not have a voice when it comes to various awards given to performers in the Arts. There is one award academy that I can honestly say gave me a chance to participate in the complex activities surrounding their awards. Their name is The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films (a non-profit organization). The organization was founded in 1972 and has been bestowing awards for 46 years. The award they provide to entertainers is called the Saturn Award. Some may not be familiar with the Saturn Awards, if so, the reason may be because they are currently not televised, like most other award shows. This Academy hopes to one day find a production company who may wish to air their awards show on television.
The Academy welcomes anyone who is interested in shows/films of science fiction to join. There is a small fee which completely goes toward the actual production of the awards show. This past year I was given the privilege of working with the Academy as a junior member of the television committee. I learned the process that the Academy uses to ensure that all programming falling within the Academy’s genre categories, for the timeframe being reviewed, has an all-inclusive scope. This ensures that no show/film is missed in the review process. Please take the time to go to the homepage of the Saturn awards and possibly consider becoming a member and giving yourself a voice in an award distribution that welcomes your voice and your vote. http://www.saturnawards.org/.
