Which is why I usually ignore 'em and I really don't get why everyon's so excited for them every year.... but that's why we have so many writers, so I can ignore stuff! :D

SWEENEY TODD best horror film?
WILL SMITH best actor?
Barring the wins for Marcia Gay Harding, "Dexter", and the wins for releases of "The Monster Squad" and the Bava boxset dvd's the Saturn Awards are...er...a little safe for me.
THE MIST and Thomas Jane should have won best film and actor. I could go on...
