Three series, six nominations: the 2022 Saturn Awards recognize Star Trek
STAR TREK garnered several nominations for the 2022 Saturn Awards
AUGUST 15, 2022 - You might recall that last year Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard rolled through the annual Saturn Awards with seven nominations and three wins. The latter were for best series, best actor, and best supporting actor. Trek continues to show up in multiple categories in this year’s nominations.
Deadline is reporting on and listing all the nominations, which include six in the Star Trek universe. Those are:
Star Trek: Lower Decks: Animated Series. The Lower Deckers are up against Arcane, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Invincible, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and What If?
Star Trek: Discovery: Science Fiction Series (Streaming)
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Science Fiction Series (Streaming). DISCO and SNW are in competition with The Expanse, For All Mankind, Lost in Space, The Mandalorian, and the Trek-adjacent The Orville: New Horizons.
Anson Mount: Actor in a Streaming Series. Actors attempting to outmaneuver Captain Pike are Tom Hiddleston from Loki, Oscar Isaac from Moon Knight, Anthony Mackie from Falcon & The Winter Soldier, Ewan McGregor from Obi-Wan Kenobi, Adam Scott from Severance, and Antony Starr from The Boys.
Ethan Peck: Supporting Actor in a Streaming Series. Vying for the award are some other logical choices, including Zach Cherry from Severance, Ethan Hawke from Moon Knight, Joel Kinnaman from For All Mankind, Elliot Page from Umbrella Academy, Joseph Quinn from Stranger Things, and John Turturro from Severance.
Jess Bush: Supporting Actress in a Streaming Series. There might be some wounds to dress after the competition with Patricia Arquette from Severance, Danielle Brooks from Peacemaker, Nell Tiger from Free Servant, Kathryn Hahn from WandaVision, Moses Ingram from Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Aleyse Shannon from Leverage: Redemption.
In addition, Star Trek veteran LeVar Burton has been nominated for Guest Performance in a Streaming Series for Redemption.
The Saturn Awards are in their fiftieth year and are organized by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. The ceremony this year is scheduled for October 25 and will be livestreamed on ElectricNOW.
