I told my readers "I'm planning on covering the Best Action Film nominees Monday" as part of my conclusion to 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' leads fantasy films at the Saturn Awards with 13 nominations. Here are the nominees for Best Action/Adventure Film.
Best Action / Adventure Film:As Deadline reported and the Saturn Awards excerpted, "Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine had 10 nominations." Twisters has two, and the rest have only this one category nomination. Based on those criteria, I expect Deadpool & Wolverine will win and I'm voting for it, although I'm not entirely happy to vote for it in this category over Twisters. I was hoping to vote for each movie in separate categories. Time to revisit my predictions, beginning with one from Jason Momoa's message for World Oceans Day.

Deadpool & Wolverine
Fall Guy The
Fly Me to the Moon
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Twisters
I predicted that "I'm looking for Aquaman 2 to earn a nomination at the next EMA Awards" in The 2023-2024 Environmental Media Association Awards nominees. I'm also looking forward to seeing the movie on the next Saturn Awards ballot. Too bad it's almost certain to get crushed by Deadpool & Wolverine. The Marvel streak will continue.I griped about the change in categories in 'Dune: Part Two' leads movie nominations at the Saturn Awards.
This year, there is no Best Superhero Film category. If it still existed, it would probably have had a full field of six nominees, Deadpool & Wolverine, Venom: The Last Dance, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Joker: Folie à Deux, Madame Web, and The Marvels, so lack of superhero films is not the issue; lack of quality superhero films is. In addition to the two Saturn Awards nominees, two were good or at least O.K. films with so-so box office numbers, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom and The Marvels, and two are likely Razzie nominees, Joker: Folie à Deux and Madame Web. I'm pretty sure both of them will be nominated for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel and one of them will almost certainly win. I suspect the Saturn Awards didn't want to recognize such mediocrity during a down year for superhero films. That didn't stop them from nominating other potential Razzie nominees, such as Megalopolis, but the absence of a superhero movie category stands out.That foiled my prediction of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom being on the ballot. On the other hand, my prediction from Bill Maher's 'New Rule: The Great Garbage Election' plus the EMA Awards winners came true.
I also expect to see Twisters nominated for Best Action/Adventure Film at the upcoming Saturn Awards. So far, it has my vote.Not any more, not against Deadpool & Wolverine.
While they didn't recognize Superhero Films this year, the Saturn Awards are still recognizing Superhero Television Series, so I'm doing something I haven't done since 'Birds of Prey' and 'The Flash' lead comic-book and superhero movies and television nominees — DCEU and Arrowverse at the Saturn Awards three years ago, examine superhero nominees on both the big and medium screen. Follow over the jump.
Best Superhero Television Series:The Deadline story that the Saturn Awards excerpted had this to say about one of the leading nominees: "TV series including Fallout and Agatha All Along lead nominations for the 52nd Saturn Awards..." Agatha All Along has four nominations, but so does The Penguin, which the story failed to mention. Hah, I knew I'd find an omission in their reporting. The streak continues!
Agatha All Along
Loki
Superman & Lois
The Boys
The Penguin
The Umbrella Academy
Speaking of streaks, two-time winner Superman & Lois managed to extend its nomination streak for a third and probably final year with this one nomination. Joining it are The Boys with three nominations, Loki with two, and The Umbrella Academy with one. I was going to vote for Loki before the nominations were announced, but the number of nominations for Agatha All Along might just change my mind. That written, I suspect The Boys will finally win in a face-off with Superman & Lois.
Best Animated Television Series or Special: Batman: Caped Crusader Gremlins: The Wild Batch Kaiju No. 8 Star Trek: Lower Decks Star Wars: The Bad Batch X-Men '97Both Batman: Caped Crusader and X-Men '97 earned Critics' Choice Award nominations for Best Animated Series, but X-Men '97 earned an Emmy nomination and won a Gold Derby TV Award, so I think it has an advantage in this field, although Star Wars: The Bad Batch is the defending winner. I'll get to its chances, along with the TV acting nominations, when I cover science fiction TV nominees.

I close by noting that Deadpool & Wolverine has a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, where it's competing against fellow Best Action/Adventure Film nominee, Twisters. Since I already featured a song from Twisters, I'm sharing Madonna - Like A Prayer (Battle Royale Mix) [Vinyl Visualizer].
You're listening to “Like A Prayer” (Battle Royale Mix) from "Deadpool and Wolverine" in theaters now - Original song taken from Madonna's album 'Like A Prayer'.I'd forgotten how great the songs were in this movie.
Stay tuned as I take a break from Saturn Awards coverage to post about the Nobel Prize winners for Nobel Prize Day.
