Star Wars IX guida le nomination dei Saturn Awards 2021: dentro anche Tenet e Joker

La 46a edizione dei Saturn Awards ha svelato ufficialmente le nomination dell'Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, l'organizzazione che premia i migliori film di genere dell'anno.

L'ampissimo elenco di candidati è guidato da Star Wars Episodio IX - The Rise of Skywalker di Disney/Lucasfilm, che ha ottenuto il maggior numero di nomination in assoluto con 12 candidature, incluso quello per Best Science Fiction Release. Il film di JJ Abrams è solo uno dei numerosi film della stagione cinematografica scorsa divenuti idonei quest'anno dopo che i Saturn Awards hanno esteso il periodo di ammissibilità dal 15 luglio 2019 al 15 novembre 2020, ammettendo nelle graduatorie anche i film costretti ad uscire solo in streaming e in VOD a causa della pandemia di coronavirus.

Tra gli altri titoli di spicco in questa competizione a dir poco serrata troviamo Tenet di Christopher Nolan, con nove candidature, e Doctor Sleep di Mike Flanagan, con otto nomination. Seguono anche il remake live-action di Mulan, Birds of Prey e The Old Guard, insieme ai big dello scorso anno come C'era una volta a Hollywood, Joker, Parasite e 1917.
