‘Gravity,’ ‘Hobbit,’ ‘Falling Skies’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ lead 2014 Saturn nominations

No surprise given its overall position in this year's film awards season that “Gravity” would dominated a list of genre award nominations, in this case those for the 40th annual Saturn Awards. The film picked up eight nods, as did Peter Jackson's “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.” On the TV side, it was “Breaking Bad,” “Falling Skies” and “Game of Thrones” leading the way with five nominations each. Only question: How the hell did “Gravity” miss out in the music category? Oh well. Check out the full list of nominations below and keep track of the rest of the season at The Circuit.
