Inception leads the nominees with a total of nine nominations with Let Me In and Tron: Legacy garnering seven each. The Saturn Award honors the best and most creative of gore, lore and action and is the official honor presented by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. A number of lesser-known films (Never Let Me Go, Splice, The Wolf Man, Animal Kingdom) are represented as well as a few surprises (Clash of the Titans, The Expendables, Letters to Juliet). It’s great to see Ryan Reynolds getting some recognition for his performance in Buried as well. The full list of nominees follows.
