I'm glad to see that Superman Returns won several Saturn Awards, since I feel this has been an underrated film. Even though it received good reviews and a had a great box office performance, it still seems to be the underdog of the Superman movies. It was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but lost to Pirates of the Caribbean, which stole a lot of Superman's thunder that year.
Superman Returns was nominated for 10 Saturn Awards and won 5 of them at the 33rd annual ceremony, held May 10, 2007. It won Best Fantasy Film, Best Actor for Brandon Routh, Best Director for Bryan Singer, Best Screenplay for Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, and Best Score for John Ottman.
It was nominated for Best Actress for Kate Bosworth, who was also nominated for a Razzie for the same role. James Marsden (X-Men's Cyclops) was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Parker Posey was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Superman Returns was nominated for Best Young Actor/Actress for Tristan Lake Leabu and Best Special Effects.
Another favorite movie X-Men: The Last Stand won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for Famke Janssen, beating Cate Blanchett and Emma Thompson. I don't know why Notes on a Scandal was up for Saturn Awards since it really doesn't fit with any of the categories. Judi Dench was also nominated for her work in Notes.
The Last Stand was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Kelsey Grammer as Beast, Best Score, Best Costume Design, and Best Special Effects.
Curse of the Golden Flower won the Saturn Award for Best Costume Design.
