It’s been months since we’ve seen Black Panther for the first time, but it’s still giving us something to talk about. After breaking box office records, the superhero epic is continuing its reign by scooping every award that’s up for grabs. Most recently, it won five shiny statues at the 2018 Saturn Awards.
Saturn Awards are presented by Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films and this year’s ceremony took place on June 27. Black Panther’s reign didn’t stop Blade Runner 2049 from taking the highest honor. Sequel to Ridley Scott’s classic film ended up winning Best Science Fiction Film award. Superhero movies usually aren’t nominated in that category, so Marvel’s smash-hit had to settle for being crowned Best Comic-to-Motion Picture. When it comes to TV, Better Call Saul and Twin Peaks: The Return won the most accolades with three each.
