by Neil Cole

"Supergirl" and "Krypton" have received nominations in various categories for the 2019 Saturn Awards which takes place on Friday, September 13th at the historic Avalon Theater in Hollywood, California.

"Supergirl" actress Melissa Benoist has been nominated for "Best Actress on a Television Series" for her role as Kara Danvers/Supergirl while actors David Harewood (J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter) and Jon Cryer (Lex Luthor) will compete for "Best Supporting Actor on a Television Series" and "Best Guest Starring Performance on a Television Series", respectively.

"Krypton" actor Cameron Cuffe who stars in the lead role of Superman's grandfather, Seg-El on the hit SYFY series has received a nomination for "Best Performance by a Younger Actor on a Television Series".

Both series will also be competing against one another in the category of "Best Superhero Television Series".

For the first time since a 1978 one-shot TV airing, the Saturn Awards will be broadcasted via streaming under a new multi-year partnership with veteran TV producer Justin W. Hochberg.

"For 44 years, The Saturn Awards show has been the ONLY award show to exclusively recognize Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror feature films and television," said Robert Holguin, the President of the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror. "Today genre fans make up the most powerful portion of today's global entertainment audience but our rich history started long before it was mainstream and includes everyone from J.J. Abrams to Gale Anne Hurd, George Lucas to Jason Blum, Jordan Peele to Gal Gadot, Ryan Coogler, Zoe Saldana and legends like Rod Serling. We couldn't be more grateful to Justin and the team he has assembled as they take this to infinity and beyond."

The reinvigoration of The Saturn Awards also includes the creation of an Awards Advisory Board with members of the TV, film, animation and fan community. The board's role will be to help produce the annual presentation and ensure it rigorously honors fans and fan culture.
