The Avengers rule the day as Marvel and Disney’s box office juggernaut “Avengers: Endgame” picked up 14 Saturn Award nominations, along with another couple for “Avengers: Infinity War.”

It was by far the biggest individual total for a film, followed by Disney’s “Aladdin” with nine, Universal’s “Us” (eight) and Warner Bros.’“Aquaman” and Disney’s “Mary Poppins Returns” (six each).

On the TV side, HBO’s “Game of Thrones” grabbed nine noms, followed by “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Walking Dead” with six each. Disney leads the studio count with 44 nominations across all of its related companies, while Netflix dominated the television side with 27 nominations.

Deadline reported exclusively last week that the 45th annual Saturn Awards — which prides itself in honoring genre entertainment since 1973 when it was started by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films — will retool* the fan-favorite awards show by moving it from June to September 13.

Because of that change, the eligibility* window for this year’s noms is based on a 16-month eligibility period from March 1, 2018 to July 7 this year, rather than 12 months as usual.

As part of the reorganization, the show also will move to the Avalon Theater in Los Angeles. A first-time streaming partner will be announced shortly in order to increase the global reach of the show as well.
