Casino Royale Earns Five Saturn Award Nominations

Best Action/Adventure film, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, and more...

-----UPDATE-----

Casino Royale And James Bond DVDs Win At Saturn Awards

Best Action/Adventure/Thriller film and Best DVD collection

The Saturn awards (The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror films) have nominated CR for :

Best Action/adventure/thriller film
Best Actor, Daniel Craig
Best Supporting Actress, Eva Green
Best Writing, Purvis & Wade, Haggis
Best Music, David Arnold

I was going to ask exactly how prestigious these things are, then I noticed on the nominees list that they got Judi Dench's and Will Ferrell's names wrong.

Edit - I see DAD was also nominated for four - Best action/adv/thriller, Pierce Brosnan, Halle Berry, and Toby Stephens, so make what you will of all this

Brosnan did win the 1998 Saturn Award for Best Actor Tomorrow Never Dies. TND got 3 other nominations: Best Action Film, Best Score(David Arnold) and Best Supporting Actress(Teri Hatcher)

It is great to see CR and the group getting recognition, despite the level of prestige of the nomination/award.

[RazorBlade]

The Saturn's are important to sci-fi fans. I hope CR wins in all catagories.

I do a bit of SciFi / Fantasy - and in that world the Saturns are big.
Excellent news.

[Vauxhall]

Any nomination is good news I guess, even though I admit I'd never heard of these awards before. Fingers crossed for CASINO ROYALE here.

Casino Royale wins the Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film Award and the UE DVD collection of the first 20 James Bond films wins the Best DVD Collection Award.

Brandon Rousch beat Daniel Craig for Best Actor? WTF???? Are they kidding?

[00Twelve]

"Actin/Adventure/Thriller?" One genre for all that? CR better have won that! No, really.

WOW. It's kind of amazing, the extent to which Daniel has gotten the shaft.

[RazorBlade]

I agree, DC should have won. SUPERMAN RETURNS was an okay movie. CR was superior. Dang.

[thecasinoroyale]

Pity Daniel didn't win Best Actor, as he had more acting to do than Brandon in SR.

Still, SR was a corker of a film, and CR deserved the win...if maybe a few more!


Well done!

Yeah, that one threw me a little bit.

I believe the Saturn Awards are geared more towards the sci-fi/comic book genre, so that's way Routh and SR got so many awards.

Then why nominate Daniel Craig for CASINO ROYALEin the first place?

And quite honestly, SUPERMAN RETURNS simply wasn't that good. Even for a Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie.

I don't really know. Maybe after DAD they considered Bond to be sci-fi.

After that invisible Aston-Martin in DAD, I see what you're getting at.

[JackWade]

And by the way, the name of the academy that runs the Saturn Awards is called "The Academy of Science Fiction Fantasy & Horror Films," so I was right.

Quite!
