Saturn Awards Nominees

I highlighted my picks, I have a few gripes, the awards are given by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror for the genre. Do you remember the sketch on Sesame Street, where they made you pick the thing of item that didn’t belong with the rest. I feel like somebody at the academy needed to watch more Sesame Street as a child, because Gran Torino, The Closer, and Breaking Bad aren’t genre shows.
