Saturns fly high with 'Superman'
Man of Steel earns 10 nominations
By DAVID S. COHEN
Warner Bros. and "Superman Returns" flew off with the biggest hoard as nominations were announced for the 33rd annual Saturn Awards.
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films gave 10 nominations to Warner's "Superman" revival, more than any other film. "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Pan's Labyrinth" were next in line with six noms each, while "Casino Royale," "Mission: Impossible III," "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," and "Stranger Than Fiction" each got five.
Warners also led among studios, with 21 noms, ahead of Sony's 15, Fox's 13 and Buena Vista's 11.
On the TV side, "Lost" is the leader with six noms, while "Heroes" got five and "Battlestar Galactica" and "Dexter" tied with four.
The children's book "Alien Xmas" by Stephen Chiodo & Jim Strain will get a special recognition award.
The Saturn brings together an eclectic mix of films, so some of its categories produce very unusual groups of nominees.
For example, "Notes on a Scandal" counts as a thriller and "Miss Potter" is counted as a fantasy, so the actress field includes Judi Dench and Renee Zellweger, while Cate Blanchett competes with "X-Men's" Famke Janssen for supporting actress.
Winners will be announced May 10 in Universal City. Hosts are "Heroes" thesp Greg Grunberg and comedian Jeffrey Ross.
