Earned those awards!

Not best sci-fi (that would be Blade Runner). And who cares and is not a little suspect of an award-show (aired where?) which chooses pictures as "best of" for a year that is only half-way through.

The Saturn Awards don't follow the calendar year. The cut off date for the last ones awarded was Feb. 20, 2018. Black Panther was released on Feb. 16, 2018; so just under the wire. This is easily found with a simple google search.

However, the op is incorrect on some things. Black Panther won Best Comics to
Media Release. Blade Runner was not eligible in that category.

Blade Runner was nominated, and won, in Best Science Fiction Film Release.

Also, many award shows aren't "aired." That has nothing to do with their importance or quality. The Saturn Awards are the awards of the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

Nice recap, summary and correction.

A little information is dangerous.

It is an annual award from the period of Feb to Feb. BP premiered in Feb of this year but even could have qualified for a nomination with a special screening to the Members of the Saturn Academy.

A little information is dangerous.

After get out got a golden globe for best comedy, it shows how little substance awards have anymore. They wanted it to win something, do they forced it to happen. Awards are nothing but social pandering today, maybe they always have been, but it's a lot more evident today.

That is a very interesting take on Award Shows. Were they really always nothing more than Social Pandering events?

What exactly is Social Pandering?????
