The fifth SyFy Genre Awards have been announced, and the now-cancelled "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series is this year's top show with nine nominations. It's spinoff "Angel," which will go off the air in May, received eight nominations -- tying it with "Stargate SG-1" and "Farscape."

UPN's "Star Trek: Enterprise" got five nominations while both "Alias" and HBO's "Carnivale" got four nominations each.

On the movie side, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" was the big winner with seven nominations. Both "X2: X-Men United" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" were tied with three nominations each.

The nominees were chosen based on votes from a nominating committee put together by SyFy Portal.

Beginning April 25, fans will be able to vote for their favorites in each of the 13 categories. Visitors can vote once per day per e-mail address, and all they need to do is visit SyFy Portal's main page.

Awesome.
Thanks.

That's great news - thanks. If Charisma doesn't get Best Special Guest Star I'll be miffed. Also, I love the fact that there's an award for Best Theme Tune! Got to be Buffy or Angel's here, hasn't it?
I thought Sarah was great in Season 7, so I hope she gets the nod, and JM getting nominated for two shows as Best Supporting Actor - is this a first do you think in any awards nominations list in the history of TV? Or am I getting a bit carried away....?

When are the Awards? They really seemt o be taking up a lotta space. thanks

The fact that they called Buffy now cancelled it a bit annoying but its good Buffy/Angel gets the reconigion.

aaaaaaaallllllllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaasssssss

and buffy and angel of course

Hah, cancelled. Brilliant.

I think Amy deserves to win for Best Supporting Actress.

I hate when people say Buffy got cancelled. So these are user voted awards? I cant decide who to vote for when it comes to best guest b/c I loved both Eliza nad Charisma. And I want to vote for both Eliza and Sarah for lead actress. Im sure alot of people have that dilemna and Im scared that that might split the vote and some other person will end up winning

I hope James wins for Best Supporting Actor and I hope Sarah wins for Best Actress in a TV Series.

And I really hope Charisma wins the special guest appearance award for her appearance in "You're Welcome". She really deserves it.

VOTE!!

Amy MUST win for Best Supporting Actress.
