The sci-fi franchise racks up 10 more nominations this awards season.
Star Trek continues to accumulate nominations this awards season, and now the beloved science fiction franchise has garnered significant nods from both the Canadian Alliance for Film and Television Costume Arts and Design (CAFTCAD) and the Saturn Awards. Strange New Worlds fans, in particular, should be pleased because three of the show’s best actors have been recognized for their incredible contributions to the streaming series.
Ethan Peck (Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series), Christina Chong (Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series), and Paul Wesley (Best Guest Star in a Television Series) all rightly received Saturn Awards nominations for their respective portrayals of Mr. Spock, La’an Noonien Singh, and James T. Kirk in Strange New Worlds.
Chong celebrated with several Instagram stories which offered congratulations to her fellow nominees and thanks to the Saturn Awards. In total, Strange New Worlds walked away with four nominations, including Best Science Fiction Television Series.
I’m delighted that these talented thespians were all recognized, but I am disappointed that Anson Mount wasn’t among the nominees for his performance as Captain Christopher Pike, particularly in the season 3 episode “Hegemony, Part II.” (Continued on next page...)
