SG-1 nominated for Saturn Award

In its final year on television, Stargate SG-1 once again picked up a Saturn Award nomination for Best Syndicated / Cable Television Series. The 33rd annual science fiction and fantasy genre awards will be presented May 10 in Universal City, California.

Stargate‘s competition in the race for Best Syndicated / Cable Series includes Battlestar Galactica, The Closer, Dexter, Doctor Who, Eureka, and Kyle XY.

Stargate SG-1 won this award in 2000, 2004, and 2005 (story). It was nominated last year, losing out to Galactica.

The Best Series nod is Stargate‘s only nomination this year in a field dominated by the resurgence of genre television on the major broadcast networks. ABC’s Lost leads the 2007 nominations with six; NBC’s Heroes received five nominations. Also represented are such series as 24, Smallville, Jericho, and Veronica Mars.

SCI FI’s Battlestar Galactica also earned four nominations.
