"The Others" wins three Saturn Awards 2002


The Others, the haunted house movie with Nicole Kidman, won three Saturn Awards out of six nominations, at the annual ceremony held June 10, 2002. I really enjoyed this movie, and consider it to be much better than The Sixth Sense. It's one of my favorite haunted house movies.

The Others won Best Horror Film, and Nicole Kidman won Best Actress for her performance as Grace Stewart.  Fionnula Flanagan won Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Mrs. Mills.

Alejandro Amenabar was nominated for Best Director and for Best Writing, and Alakina Mann was nominated for Best Performance by a Younger Actor.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring also won three awards.  It won Best Fantasy Film.  Ian McKellen won Best Supporting Actor for his work as Gandalf the Grey.  Peter Jackson won Best Director.

Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence won five Saturn Awards, but I did have not seen it, so I can't comment on it. 

Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter were nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
