Inception has picked up nine nominations at the 37th Annual Saturn Awards.

Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic is up against Hereafter, Iron Man 2, Never Let Me Go, Splice and Tron: Legacy for the 'Best Science Fiction Film' prize.

Leonardo Di Caprio picked up two nominations in the 'Best Actor' category for Inception and Shutter Island. He faces competition from Jeff Bridges (Tron: Legacy), George Clooney (The American), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man 2) and Ryan Reynolds (Buried).

Di Caprio's co star Ellen Page is nominated in the 'Best Actress' award alongside Cecile de Francel (Hereafter), Angelina Jolie (Salt), Carey Mulligan (Never Let Me Go), Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

Nolan is up for both the 'Best Director' and 'Best Writing' gongs.

The awards, which honour science fiction, fantasy and horror movies and television programmes, will take place this June in California.

Thor: more new images online

Marvel have released a couple more stills from their upcoming Thor comic adaptation, as well as a triplet of character posters for the film.

The movie stills concentrate on Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and love-interest Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who become close when Thor is banished from Asgard to Earth.

Meanwhile, the new posters show off Thor in his full battle regalia, evil brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and nemesis The Destroyer – who lives up to that name in the film’s latest trailer.

Bad Teacher gets a Red Band trailer

Bad Teacher is a film that from title to premise is trying to recreate some of the magic that made Billy Bob Thornton's Bad Santa such a treat.


Based on the strength of the first trailer however, Cameron Diaz is no Billy Bob Thornton, and Bad Teacher is no Bad Santa.


Not to say it's all bad though, despite Diaz not ever really feeling comfortable in her role as a pot-smoking, potty mouthed educator, some of the jokes land perfectly thanks to the great supporting cast, notably TF favourite Jason Segal.


Swearing its way through much of the NSFW-dictionary, the Red Band trailer also gives away details of a mostly nonsensical plot involving Justin Timberlake and boob jobs.


You can see the fully NSFW Red Band trailer below (put your headphones on, cubicle dwellers);

File this one under 'wholly unconvinced' for now. We definitely cracked a few chuckles throughout, but remain doubtful that the 'swearing = comedy' premise is enough to carry the film for 90 mins.


Bad Teacher is released in the UK June 24 2011
