John Carter Nabs Saturn and Nebula Nods

So the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences ignored it but the Academy of Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film didn't. John Carter has landed a nomination for the 39th Saturn Awards for Best Visual Effects, facing off against The Avengers, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Life of Pi, Snow White and the Huntsman and Taylor Kitsch's other 2012 alien flick Battleship. Congrats to the FX nominees and you can check out the complete nominee lists at http://www.saturnawards.org/nominations.html
