Supernatural lands a Saturn Awards 2019 nomination
Supernatural has gained a nomination for the 2019 Saturn Awards. There are also some special mentions for former guest stars on the show.
The Saturn Awards 2019 nominations were announced yesterday, and Supernatural was one of the shows to land a nomination. While it was only one nomination, some former guest stars on the show have landed nominations for their current projects. We love to celebrate and support the SPN Family in other projects, so these nominations are certainly worthy of a mention.
First, let’s look at the Supernatural nomination. The Saturn Awards are for Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror TV shows and movies. There are various categories to make sure all shows get a fair chance, especially when it comes to “Best Show.” After all, you can’t compare something like Supernatural to Game of Thrones or Outlander. The shows are entirely different genres and for very different fans.

The Winchesters’ show is classed as horror. That’s not all that surprising, especially when you look back at the very early seasons. It’s been nominated for Best Horror Television Series, but certainly has some stiff competition. New AMC series NOS4A2 and FX series What We Do in the Shadows have been nominated. However, some of the biggest competition will come from Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead, A Discovery of Witches, American Horror Story: Apocalypse and Preacher.
As for the former guest stars, we’re looking at the Best Actress in a Television Series and Best Guest Starring Performance in a Television Series. The first is for Adrianne Palicki for her series The Orville. Fans will remember Palicki as Jessica Moore, Sam’s girlfriend in the first season who faced the same fate as Mary Winchester.
The second actor nom is Jeffrey Dean Morgan for The Walking Dead. Considering the role he plays on that series, it certainly is well deserved.
We also want to mention the nomination for Doom Patrol. This has a number of former members of the SPN Family connected, including Jeremy Carver and Mark Sheppard. The series landed a nomination for Best Streaming Superhero Television Series, due to its release on DC Universe.
The two have some stiff competition and you can see the full list of Saturn Awards 2019 nominations at the official website. We wish everyone the best of luck!
