I closed 'The Walking Dead' vs. 'Chucky' for Best Horror Television Series: Network/Cable at the Saturn Awards by telling my readers "Stay tuned as I resume with streaming horror/thriller nominees as both "Severance" and "Stranger Things" tied with six nominations and are competing against 'Squid Game.'" Deadline Hollywood has their nominations.
Horror / Thriller Series (Streaming)As I wrote above, "Severance" and "Stranger Things" tied for second among television shows at the Saturn Awards with six nominations each. Only "Creepshow" has another nomination, while "Evil," "Servant," and "Squid Game" have only this one. I voted for "Evil" last year, but it wasn't competing against "Severance" and "Stranger Things" then. Instead, I'm picking the more entertaining of the two top series, "Stranger Things."

• Creepshow (Shudder)
• Evil (Paramount+)
• Servant (Apple TV+)
• Severance (Apple TV+)
• Squid Game (Netflix)
• Stranger Things (Netflix)

Guests are casting director Carmen Cuba, music supervisor Nora Felder, prosthetics designer Barrie Gower, hair department head Sarah Hindsgaul, stunt coordinator Hiro Koda, production designer Chris Trujillo and editor Dean Zimmerman. Gold Derby senior editor Daniel Montgomery hosts this 42-minute webchat.While it's my choice and I suspect it may be the choice of a plurality of other Saturn Awards voters — remember, electorates matter — "Stranger Things" may not be the entertainment professionals choice. I suspect they would more likely to vote for "Severance." Watch Making of 'Severance': Our fun, lively roundtable panel featuring Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and more from Gold Derby.

Follow over the jump for the categories I covered in Part 3 of superhero nominees at the 2022 Saturn Awards — streaming video and 'The Walking Dead' vs. 'Chucky' for Best Horror Television Series: Network/Cable at the Saturn Awards.
"Creepshow" earned its other nomination in one of the home entertainment categories.
Horror provided one of the nominees in another program category.Television Series ReleaseHorror dominates this category, with "Creepshow," "Kolchak: The Night Stalker," and "Night Gallery" joining "Chucky." "The Six Million Dollar Man" is the sole science fiction nominee and the one I'm thinking of voting for. "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" wins the "one of these things are not like the others" award. What kind of speculative fiction is it supposed to be, fantasy? Maybe as viewed 70 years later.
• The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Season 1 & 2 (MPI Home Video)
• Chucky, Season 1 (Universal)
• Creepshow, Season 2 (RLJ Entertainment)
• Kolchak: The Night Stalker, The Complete Series (Kino Lorber)
• Night Gallery: Season One (Kino Lorber)
• The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Series (Shout Factory)
Too bad the Saturn Awards have such an irregular calendar. A more regular eligibility period might have helped "Midnight Mass," which displayed an understanding of religion in horror rivaling "Evil."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)
Now for the acting nominations from "Severance" and "Stranger Things."
Watch Adam Scott on obsession with 'The Twilight Zone' leading to 'Severance': 'Everything I wanted to do'.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)
Adam Scott on how his obsession with 'The Twilight Zone' led him to 'Severance': 'This was everything I wanted to do.' He plays Mark on the Apple TV+ thriller about office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between work and personal lives. Gold Derby editor Denton Davidson hosts this webchat.I'm used to thinking of Scott as a comic actor, but he handled the drama in "Severance" extremely well.
That's not to take anything away from either Millie Bobby Brown or Kate Siegel. Watch Gold Derby's Millie Bobby Brown ('Stranger Things') on Eleven for Season 4: 'Needs to stand on her own two feet'.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)
Millie Bobby Brown ('Stranger Things') on Eleven's 'inner growth' during Season 4: 'She needs to stand on her own two feet.' The two-time Emmy nominee says her character deals 'with some of the realest monsters out there, like bullying and self identity.' Gold Derby's Sam Eckmann hosts this webchat.Brown has moved up to the grown-up table and her competition has become a lot stiffer.
The Saturn Award voters nominated Zach Cherry instead of Christopher Walken, but still recognized John Turturro, who Gold Derby interviewed in John Turturro ('Severance') on asking Christopher Walken to play his potential love interest.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+)
John Turturro ('Severance') on asking Christopher Walken to play his potential love interest: 'It's easy if you have a strong feeling towards someone already.' He plays Irving on the Apple TV+ thriller about office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between work and personal lives. Gold Derby editor Denton Davidson hosts this webchat.I'll have more to say about this category in the next installment, which will be about Star Trek vs. Star Wars in streaming nominations.
As I wrote about "Midnight Mass," a more regular calendar and eligibility period would have helped Patricia Arquette, as she wouldn't be competing against Hahn.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...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.
• 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)
Watch the final Gold Derby interview I'm embedding, Sadie Sink ('Stranger Things') on Max's 'empowering' journey in emotional Season 4Performance 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)
Sadie Sink ('Stranger Things') on Max's 'empowering' journey in Season 4: 'Big responsibility to carry such an emotional part of the show.' At the end of the previous season, Max witnesses the Mind Flayer kill her step brother Billy and the resulting grief takes a major toll. Gold Derby's Sam Eckmann hosts this webchat.Congratulations on winning the HCA Award and good luck with this category!
Stay tuned for the streaming science fiction nominees. Star Trek vs. Star Wars!
