2015 Emmy Nominees Announced
You can grab the full list here, but if your genre show wasn’t titled “Game of Thrones” or “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” it didn’t get a nomination.
2014 Academy Awards Results
The complete list of nominations and wins can be found here. Gravity was the big winner from the genre and non-genre entertainment perspectives, although it was not chosen for Best Picture.
2013 Saturn Awards
Here is a list of this year’s award winners from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.
The Saturn Award is the official honor presented by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror films. The Academy has been voting these awards since 1972. The films may change, but the quality and ideas presented in these works remain to be the most successful at the box-office.

2012 Emmy Results
Surprising no one, genre shows were ignored at the nomination level this year. I would say snubbed, but that would indicate a miscarriage of judgment and I don’t think that’s happened this year, just the state of genre television is pretty poor.

2011 Hugo Award Nominations Announced
In addition to the 2011 Seiun Award Nominees, the 2011 Hugo Award Nominees were announced today. While io9 has beaten us to the list, where they have speed, we have quality – we have links to the web pages of nominated persons and magazines where possible and Amazon.com links to nominated works (of we weren’t able to link directly to them), plus little bit of analysis. Nominees are below the cut. Continue reading →
2011 Seiun Award Nominations announced
The nominees for the 42nd annual Seiun Awards have been announced, and rather than wait until the winners have been announced like last time, I’ll give a run-down of the nominees, based on a Google translation of a Japanese site with the list, which can be found here. The original versions of the titles are being placed next to the Google Translated versions, in case someone who understands Japanese better wants to translate the titles for me.
The Hugo Award Nominations themselves are being announced this year, and that list will be posted later today. Continue reading →
