Actually, if you want some truly funny Harlan Ellison stuff, take a look at this little tussle he had with Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade fame. Scroll down a bit, you'll know it when you see it.

Gotta give victory to the PA boys on this one. After all, they are flans!

Word of warning, there is some foul langauge to be found here, so be cautious if there're prying eyes about.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Fox!

I for one am soooo glad that Serenity and Summer got a nod. I also think Nathan and Joss should have also...in a perfect world.
I for one SLEPT through sin city..hated it really..As for WotW, Hated that too..still have Dakota screaming in my head from that one..thought Tom C SUCKED...I was so lookig forward to it..very disapointed..Island, that was crap also.
SERENITY- Best movie EVER..but even non Browncoats I have met, have said it was such a good movie..a few said,"when we saw Serenity up on the movie board, we thought it sounded like a chick flick." take that for what its worth..but I think that is part of the reason it did not get a lot of play..
Anyway, GO SUMMER!!! GO SERENITY!!!
and in my perfect world, GO NATHAN!!!GO JOSS!!!!!

I have done the impossible, that makes me MIGHTY!!!

I think Serenity and Summer definitely deserve their noms, but I’d have to agree that Summer should have been nominating in a leading roll, and not supporting. And Jessica Alba? Not that the chick isn’t hot, I’m sure, but all she did was pout and dance through the whole movie.

That definitely sucks about Nathan. I mean, he’s out captain, he brings the whole crew together and his performance was astounding. I guess, at least the fact that Serenity was nominated for anything is a good start.

Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

The Saturn awards are actually open to public membership, and I joined this year with the hope of putting my vote in for Serenity. Unfortunaly they seem to choose certain areas where each person gets to nominate, I for example was only able to vote in the three best film categories (with Serenity obviously being my top pick in the Sci-fi section).

Hopefully, I will be able to vote in all the categories for the main award and I can put my vote in for Summer as well.

Oh that was great! I could tell he could be a real A-hole. He's a great writer but he definitely comes across as an arrogant prick when he talks. I believe the P.C. term is "opinionated".

As someone mentioned above the Saturns are open for public membership that gives you the oppurtunity to see early screenings of genre movies and to vote for the Saturn awards. They ask you in advance what categories you'd like to vote in (you can choose two and everyone votes on the Best Movie(s) categories). I've voted for Firefly and Farscape for the last three years (tv and dvd).

The nominees are decided by Academy Commmittee members. http://www.saturnawards.org/vote.html

Voting is currently open (until March 24th) and the award ceremony is May 2nd.

Well not only did Nathan get snubbed by the Saturns...

In the April issue of Sci Fi Magazine, they wrote their take on "A-List talent sure to be ignored by the Academy come awards time." They list five 'nominees' in each category, including -
Best Picture: Serenity
Best Director: Joss Whedon
Best Actress: Summer Glau

BUT NO Nathan for Best Actor. That could just be your average oversight BUT right above that Best Actor column they have a picture of Nathan (FF pic). How rude!

Article is not online but it is in print:
Anon. The beauties, the beasts and the box office. 2006, April. Sci Fi. 12(2): 66-67.

If you want to send them feedback that would be scott.edelman@nbcuni.com (Editor-in-Chief/Feedback Column).

Towelie is think the ending to that sentence is "It was dissappointing"

also I can't believe Nathan didn't get nominated! very dissapointed.

Also i must say, i have a new sig/under-under-the-name-thingy " That's how THEY roll, dog."

-edit-
Who already did this( http://www.saturnawards.org/membership.html) so this attrocity doesn't happen next year?

The results of the Saturn Awards have Summer Glau taking home the Best Supporting Actress Prize.

The movie Serenity was also in the running for Best Science Fiction Film, that prize however went to StarWars Episode III.

The complete results listing is available at http://www.saturnawards.org/winners.html

STAR WARS III WON??? What in the gorram hell???

This isn't the first time I've ranted about this movie (see http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19410). As I've said before, Serenity (and indeed, more than a few of the other movies on that list) trumps that film to no end. It's bad enough our Captain didn't even get a nomination, but this? Comeplete and total idiocy!

*takes some deep breaths*

Okay, I'm through ranting. I am capable of looking on the bright side of this. Summer won!!! Yipeee!!!

At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.
