I told my readers "Speaking of the Saturn Awards, I'll see if I can fit in another installment tomorrow. Stay tuned" to conclude 'Succession' leads drama Series nominees at the 2022 Emmy Awards. It's time to follow through with Part 3 of superhero nominees at the 2022 Saturn Awards. Here are the streaming superhero nominees from Deadline Hollywood.
Action / Adventure Series (Streaming)The most nominated streaming superhero show is "The Boys," which earned four Saturn Award nominations for Action / Adventure Series (Streaming), Actor in a Streaming Series for Antony Starr, Actress in a Streaming Series for Erin Moriarty, and Guest Performance in a Streaming Series for Jensen Ackles. That ties it with more traditional action/thriller show "Leverage: Redemption," which has nominations for Actress in a Streaming Series for Beth Riesgraf, Supporting Actress in a Streaming Series for Aleyse Shannon, and Guest Performance in a Streaming Series for Levar Burton in addition to this category. The other superhero nominees in this category are "Peacemaker" with three nominations and "Umbrella Academy" with two. The non-superhero action/adventure nominees are "Bosch: Legacy," "Cobra Kai," and "Reacher," each with one nomination. While I'm personally inclined to vote for "Peacemaker," I think the rest of the members of the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films will vote for "The Boys."
• Bosch: Legacy (FreeVee)
• The Boys (Amazon)
• Cobra Kai (Netflix)
• Leverage: Redemption (FreeVee)
• Peacemaker (HBOMax / DC)
• Reacher (Amazon)
• Umbrella Academy (Netflix)
Fantasy Series (Streaming)When I wrote "superheroes, like horror, span the space between science fiction and fantasy, and some show more affinity for one over the other," I was making a point about the superheros that have science fiction origins. Here, the nominated superhero shows star a Norse god and a witch, so they're fantasy. Both of them also have two acting nominations for their stars and acting nominations for supporting and guest roles for a total of three each, making them the most nominated shows in this category. The rest of the nominees, high fantasy series "The Wheel of Time" and "The Witcher" and modern fantasies "Russian Doll" and "Schmigadoon," earned just one nomination each. That leaves the two Marvel shows as co-favorites. Between the two, I'll likely vote for "WandaVision," the professional choice that earned three Creative Arts Emmy Awards and eighteen other Emmy nominations over "Loki," the show that had six Emmy nominations but did not win any of them.
• Loki (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Russian Doll (Netflix)
• Schmigadoon (Apple TV+)
• WandaVision (Disney+ / Marvel)
• The Wheel of Time (Amazon)
• The Witcher (Netflix)
Limited Event Series (Streaming)Now for the limited series nominees, which "WandaVision" could have qualified for as well. While this installment focuses on superheroes, they're not the subject of the most nominated show, "Obi-Wan Kenobi," which has five nominations to three each for "Hawkeye" and "Moon Knight" and two each for "Midnight Mass," "Ms. Marvel" and "The Book of Boba Fett." I'm voting for "Obi-Wan Kenobi" and I think the rest of the Saturn Awards electorate will as well.
• The Book of Boba Fett (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Hawkeye (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Midnight Mass (Netflix)
• Ms. Marvel (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Moon Knight (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
Animated SeriesThree of these nominees are about superheroes, "The Boys Presents: Diabolical," "Invincible," and "What If...?" While "The Boys Presents: Diabolical" is the fifth nomination for the franchise and serves as a tiebreaker with "Leverage: Redemption," it almost certainly won't win. Instead, I think the Saturn Award will go to one of "Arcane" (the professionals' choice), "Star Wars: The Bad Batch" (continuing the tradition of Star Wars animation winning at the Saturn Awards), or "What If...?" with "Star Trek: Lower Decks" as a potential spoiler. I'm planning on voting for "Arcane."
• Arcane (Netflix)
• Blade Runner: Black Lotus (Crunchyroll / Adult Swim)
• The Boys Presents: Diabolical (Amazon)
• Invincible (Amazon)
• Star Trek: Lower Decks (Paramount+)
• Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• What If? (Disney+ / Marvel)
Follow over the jump for the acting categories.
Actor in a Streaming SeriesFour of the nominees are from streaming superhero shows, Tom Hiddleston, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Mackie, and Antony Starr. Isaac's acting impressed me and I might just vote for him, but I'm not sure he'll win. Adam Scott did something similar in "Severance" and he's nominated for an Emmy. Antony Starr won two Critics Choice Super Awards for this role. Neither professional opinion is likely to sway the Saturn Awards voters, who I think are just as likely to go for Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi or Anson Mount as Captain Pike. Between the two of them, I'd vote for McGregor.
• Tom Hiddleston, Loki (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Oscar Isaac, Moon Knight (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Anthony Mackie, Falcon & The Winter Soldier (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Ewan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Anson Mount, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+)
• Adam Scott, Severance (Apple TV+)
• Antony Starr, The Boys (Amazon)
Actress in a Streaming SeriesErin Moriarty and Elizabeth Olsen are the superhero nominees in this field. I'm voting for Elizabeth Olsen, who was nominated for an Emmy. So is Britt Lower, but I liked Olsen more. She might even win.
• Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things (Netflix)
• Britt Lower, Severance (Apple TV+)
• Erin Moriarty, The Boys (Amazon)
• Elizabeth Olsen, WandaVision (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Beth Riesgraf, Leverage: Redemption (FreeVee)
• Kate Siegel, Midnight Mass (Netflix)
• Ming-Na Wen, The Book of Boba Fett (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
Supporting Actor in a Streaming SeriesThe superhero nominees are Ethan Hawke from "Moon Knight" and Elliot Page from "Umbrella Academy." I found Hawke more compelling as the villain in "Moon Knight," but I don't know if I'll vote for him. Joseph Quinn was even more of a scene-stealer in "Stranger Things" and Ethan Peck has won before as Spock.
• Zach Cherry, Severance (Apple TV+)
• Ethan Hawke, Moon Knight (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Joel Kinnaman, For All Mankind (Apple TV+)
• Elliot Page, Umbrella Academy (Netflix)
• Ethan Peck, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+)
• Joseph Quinn, Stranger Things (Netflix)
• John Turturro, Severance (Apple TV+)
Supporting Actress in a Streaming SeriesThis is a really great field. Kathryn Hahn earned an Emmy nomination as Agatha Harkness in "WandaVision" and I'm probably going to vote for her. Agatha All Along!
• Patricia Arquette, Severance (Apple TV+)
• Danielle Brooks, Peacemaker (HBOMax)
• Jess Bush, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount+)
• Nell Tiger, Free Servant (Apple TV+)
• Kathryn Hahn, WandaVision (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Moses Ingram, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Aleyse Shannon, Leverage: Redemption (FreeVee)
Welcome to WandaVision. Marvel Studios' captivating new series "WandaVision" stars Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, and marks the first series from Marvel Studios streaming exclusively on Disney+. The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision—two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.She lost the Emmy, but she might still win the Saturn, just as she won Best Villain in a Series at the Critics Choice Super Awards.
“Agatha All Along” Lyrics:
Who’s been messing up everything
It’s been Agatha all along
Who’s been pulling every evil string
It’s been Agatha all along
She’s insidious
Ha Ha
So perfidious
That you haven’t even noticed
And the pity is, the pity is
Pity pity pity pity
It’s too late to fix anything, now that everything has gone wrong
Thanks to Agatha
Ha
Naughty Agatha
It’s been Agatha all along
I killed Sparky too!
Performance by a Younger Actor (Streaming)Between Hailee Steinfeld and Iman Vellani, I'd pick Steinfeld. But I don't have to. Instead, I'm planning on voting for Sadie Sink.
• Vivien Lyra Blair, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Maxwell Jenkins, Lost in Space (Netflix)
• Gaten Matarazzo, Stranger Things (Netflix)
• Sadie Sink, Stranger Things (Netflix)
• Hailee Steinfeld, Hawkeye (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Iman Vellani, Ms. Marvel (Disney+ / Marvel)
Guest Performance in a Streaming SeriesThe superhero choices are Jensen Ackles and Jonathan Majors. I think the Emmys snubbed Majors, so I might vote for him. I also might vote for Rosario Dawson. I haven't decided yet.
• Jensen Ackles, The Boys (Amazon)
• Levar Burton, Leverage: Redemption (FreeVee)
• Hayden Christensen, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Rosario Dawson, The Mandalorian (Disney+ / Lucasfilm)
• Robert Englund, Stranger Things (Netflix)
• Tony Dalton, Hawkeye (Disney+ / Marvel)
• Jonathan Majors, Loki (Disney+ / Marvel)
I plan on cycling back to movies in my next post of this series. Stay tuned.
