Subject: [Trekkers] Enterprise, "Nemesis" Score Multiple Saturn
Nods Awards nominees. Scott Bakula, Jolene Blalock and Connor Trinneer are all in the running once again, as is Enterprise. "Star Trek Nemesis" also scored big with four nominations. The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, which presents the Saturns to honor genre movies and TV fare generally overlooked by mainstream awards, nominated Enterprise for Best Network Television Series. The show will compete in a field that includes fellow UPN series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Twilight Zone, as well as Alias, Angel and Smallville. Bakula was recognized in the category of Best TV Actor for his portrayal of Captain Jonathan Archer, while Trinneer was honored in the Best TV Supporting Actor category for his work as Trip Tucker. This is the second nomination for both actors, who were also recognized last year. Jolene Blalock ("T'Pol"), who took home two Saturns last year, may get the chance to repeat her success � she's nominated in the Best TV Supporting Actress category. "Star Trek Nemesis," the tenth Trek feature, also made a good showing � the film will compete against "Men in Black 2," "Minority Report," "Signs," "Solaris" and "Star Wars: Episode II � Attack of the Clones" for Best Science Fiction Film honors. Tom Hardy also received a nod for his memorable work as Reman Praetor Shinzon. The film is up for some behind the scenes honors as well � Bob Ringwood was nominated for Best Costume and Michael Westmore received a nod for Best Make-Up. In the DVD department, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" is up for Best DVD Classic Film Release and Star Trek: The Next Generation (Seasons 1-7) will duke it out for Best DVD TV Programming Release. Many other nominees have Trek connections. Both Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda and The Dead Zone, which is executive produced by former Trek exec producer Michael Piller, are in contention for Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series. Also, The Dead Zone's Anthony Michael Hall will face off against Bakula in the Best TV Actor category. TNG alum Kirsten Dunst ("Hedril") was recognized in the Best Film Actress category for "Spider-Man" while Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest star John Glover ("Verad") will compete with Trinneer for Best TV Supporting Actor. Glover plays "Lionel Luthor" on The WB's Smallville. Camille Calvet is nominated in the Best Make-Up category for her work on Steven Spieberg's "Minority Report." Calvet previously worked as a make-up artist on "Star Trek: First Contact" and DS9. The Best Special Effects category is packed with Trek alums. Jim Rygiel and Joe Letteri were among those nominated for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." Rygiel was visual effects supervisor for "Star Trek: Insurrection," while Letteri served as a CG animator on "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." Scott Farrar, Michael Lantieri and Henry LaBounta, part of the team recognized for "Minority Report," also have Trek connections. Farrar did visual effects on "ST: II," "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" and "ST:VI." Lantieri contributed to the special effects on "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home." And LaBounta was a computer effects artist on "Star Trek Generations." Bill George, one of four nominees for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," was visual effects art director for "Generations" and "ST: VI." He also served as a model maker on "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," an art consultant on "First Contact," and a prop designer on "ST: III." John Dykstra, part of the team nominated for "Spider-Man," served as special photographic effects supervisor on "ST: TMP." Rob Coleman, Ben Snow and John Knoll are three of the four people nominated for "Episode II." Coleman worked as a computer effects artist on "Generations," while Snow worked as a computer effects artist. Knoll has contributed to several Trek endeavors � he was visual effects supervisor on "First Contact" and "Generations" and worked on the "Enterprise warp effect" on the TNG series premiere "Encounter at Farpoint." The Saturns will be handed out on May 18 at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, California. If Blalock wins, it will be her second victory in the category, as well as the third time in a row a Trek actress has taken home the award. Jeri Ryan ("Seven of Nine") took the award in 2001. Blalock also took home the trophy for Cinescape's Face of the Future award last year. Other past Trek winners include Kate Mulgrew ("Kathryn Janeway") for Best Genre TV Actress in 1998; TNG for Best Genre Television Series in 1989 and 1991; and "ST: VI" for Best Science Fiction Film in 1993.
