Tom Nominated for a Saturn Award

In a strong showing for Smallville, which garnered seven nominations (tying the Sci-Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica for most nods), the Saturn Award nominations were announced early today. The Saturn Awards were created to recognize excellence in genre film making so it will probably come as no surprise to his fans that Tom has been nominated in the Lead Actor category for his role on Smallville.
Given his strong performances in the past year, here's hoping Tom will win! I know it's a long shot, as many of the other nominees are from far more popular or critically acclaimed shows, but he deserves to win because of all the hard work he's put in this past year.
Other Smallville cast members also got nominations. Kristin Kreuk was nominated for Best Actress, while Michael Rosenbaum, Erica Durance and Allison Mack all received nods in the supporting acting categories; Michael previously won for Best Supporting Actor in 2002. The show also received nominations for Best Network Series and Best TV Series DVD Release (for the 4th Season set).

It's funny that Tom got nominated, because in one of the Season Two DVD comentaries, Tom and Micheal have a joke about how silly the award is. Oh well, I hope he wins it.
