Young Frankenstein wins 5 Saturn Awards 1976

I'm glad they began the Saturn Awards back in 1972, although I just became aware of their existence within the last few years.  Science fiction, fantasy, and horror films are way under-represented in the more high-falutin' award shows, like the Oscars and the Golden Globe Awards. 

One of the funniest and best movies ever, Young Frankenstein, won 5 Saturn Awards at the 3rd annual ceremony by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, January 31, 1976. 

It won for Best Horror Film beating Black Christmas and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mel Brooks won for Best Director.  Marty Feldman won for Best Supporting Actor.  William J. Tuttle won for Best Makeup.  Robert De Vestel and Dale Hennesy won for Best Set Direction. 

Jaws won Outstanding Film of 1975.  Katharine Ross won Best Actress for her work in The Stepford Wives.

"The Stepford Wives" released 1975

Spooky and controversial thriller, The Stepford Wives, was released in US theaters February 12, 1975.  Based on Ira Levin's 1972 novel of the same name, it is the story about a woman who relocates with her husband and children to a picturesque, idyllic town in Connecticut, where the women are the "perfect wives".  By 'perfect', they mean 'completely submissive'.  

Katharine Ross, Paula Prentiss, and Tina Louise appear as some of the wives in Stepford.  

Feminist groups were not pleased with the movie for its misogynistic tones, but many applaud it for its satire of domestic homelife, where men only want women with big breasts, frequent sex, and delicious meals.  

Katharine Ross won a Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films for Best Actress.  The Stepford Wives was nominated for a Saturn for Best Science Fiction Film but lost to Rollerball.
