Lost leads the pack with seven Saturn nominations Posted Feb 20th 2008 8:57PM by Erin Martell Filed under: Other Drama Shows, Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural The Saturn Award nominations are in, and many popular sci-fi and fantasy shows made the cut. Returning favorites like Lost, Heroes, and Dexter were recognized by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films, as were newcomers Pushing Daisies and Journeyman. With seven nominations, Lost is ahead of Dexter and Heroes, which received five and four nominations, respectively. Heroes was the big winner last year, taking home awards for Best Network Series as well as acting awards for Masi Oka and Hayden Panettiere. Both actors received nominations this year, along with co-star Greg Grunberg. Although it was shut out in 2007, Lost might have a better chance this time around now that Heroes doesn't have novelty on its side. Lost is up for Best Network Series and Best Series on DVD, and received acting nominations for cast members Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Terry O'Quinn, Michael Emerson, Josh Holloway, and Elizabeth Mitchell. Fresh faces among the nominees include Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Kevin McKidd, and Summer Glau. Saturn Award winners will be announced on June 24. A complete list of the TV nominations follows.

Believe me, you´ve seen alot more than me! But I´d go with "I am Legend" and "Ratatouille", based on nothing more than intuition. "No Country for Old Men", dunno, I wonder if it´s the kind of movie that would appeal for a fantasy and horror audience - and it was not exactly a box office winner either. I´d go with "The Bourne Ultimatum" or "300". BTW, "Life on Mars" (which I´d also have picked, very interesting series, though I only saw a few episodes) has alot in common with Journeyman. Same premise (travelling back in time to fix things) and lead actors (KMK and John Simms) who had already shared the screen ... ETA: From the "international" films, the only one I´ve seen is Eastern Promises - good movie, with an excellent perfomance by Viggo Mortensen.

June 24, 2008 7:00 PM ‘Lost’ Leads at Saturn Awards By Andrew Krukowski ABC's “Lost” steered the island toward four trophies at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror’s 34th annual Saturn Awards. Winning for network television series, actor Matthew Fox, supporting actor Michael Emerson and supporting actress Elizabeth Mitchell, “Lost” returned to form at the Saturn Awards after losing out in several categories to NBC’s “Heroes” and Showtime’s “Dexter” last year. “Dexter” didn’t walk away empty-handed, however, winning syndicated/cable television series. The “Star Wars” spoof episode of “Family Guy” entitled “Blue Harvest” took the award for presentation on television. Jennifer Love Hewitt, star of CBS drama “Ghost Whisperer,” scared up a second TV actress trophy, while Summer Glau of Fox’s “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” tied Ms. Mitchell in the supporting actress category. While not represented in the main television categories, “Heroes” was honored for its season one DVD release and the Definitive Gold release of “Twin Peaks” received an award for retro TV series DVD release. www.tvweek.com/news/2008/06/lost_leads_at_saturn_awards.php

Well, since this is not the Jennifer Love Hewitt fan forum, I guess I can open my heart: I HATE Jenniffer Love Hewitt!! There are very few actors whom I dislike so much that they can make me switch channels or stay away from a DVD, but she has exactly that effect on me. Can´t believe she won this trophy twice ... The only thing more annoying than watching Jenniffer Love Hewitt acting is to watch her singing ... ::)OK, I got it out of my system and I´m gonna shup up now.

Anaterra as we were saying about Life on Mars .... read this article - I guess we werent the only ones who saw the simularities.. tvbythenumbers.com/2008/08/05/life-on-mars-like-journeyman/4606Life on Mars Like Journeyman? August 5th, 2008 by Robert Seidman Talk about comparisons you do not want to hear about your new show before it even airs! Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune writes in her “The Watcher” column a piece titled: The New Life on Mars - is this Journeyman, take 2? Ouch! Ms. Ryan is definitely not bullish on the US version of Life on Mars, writing: “A fascinating, unique love triangle evolves between Sam’s ‘real’ in-the-moment friendship with Annie, his longing to get back to Maya and the fantasy of what could be,” the ABC release states. I’ve already seen that show — it was called “Journeyman.” I’d even started to like “Journeyman,” before it was yanked because too few viewers got on board with Kevin McKidd, who played a time-traveling reporter. “Mars” is also reminiscent of “Day Break,” another semi-serialized drama about a man traveling between different time periods. Doesn’t ABC know that its main accomplishment with “Day Break” was to tick off fans who never got to see the show’s final episodes in a timely way after the Taye Diggs vehicle was canceled? I’d even started to like Journeyman too, after it got over its stupid relationship nonsense and shed most of its viewers besides me, Bill and apparently Ms. Ryan. Read the rest of her fairly scathing (loved it!) piece on the prospects for Life on Mars via the Chicago Tribune site here. I was a big Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine fan, so I hate that the prospects for Colm Meaney’s new show aren’t looking good before it even gets out of the gate. Update: reader/commenter Holly notes that I don’t need to feel as bad because Colm Meaney has already been replaced and won’t be on the show. Holly Notes that the entire cast from the pilot (which is being reshot) has been replaced other than Jason O’Mara.

The similarities are rather obvious ... The difference is that "Life on Mars" played with the cultural shock of traveling back in time within British culture, while Journeyman did the same within the American culture, and, IMHO, this was the great appeal in both shows. I´ve even seen an episode in "Life on Mars" in which the guy had to face a meeting with his own father in the past (does that sound familiar to you?). Now, why American producers think that a show that has already failed with American audiences will finally be successful just because of its "British" pedigree is way beyond my wondering ...
