The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films has announced the nominations for the 36th Annual Saturn Awards with AMC's The Prisoner receiving one in the category of Best Television Presentation. The Prisoner is up against Alice (SyFy), Doctor Who: The End of Time (BBC America), Torchwood: Children of Earth (BBC America), The Tudors (Showtime), and V (ABC). Winners will be announced on Thu., Jun. 24.

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror began in 1972 as a non-profit organization honoring films in genre categories, which were often overlooked by the Academy and other mainstream organizations. The Saturn Awards have expanded over the years to include TV as well as categories such as action, adventure, and thriller.

The Art Directors Guild today announced their nominations for the 14th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, and The Prisoner's Michael Pickwoad was honored as a nominee in the Television Movie or Mini-Series category. (AMC's Mad Men also received a nod this year in the Single Camera Television Series category. Click here to learn more.)

Pickwoad will face two competitors for this year's award: Kalina Ivanov (HBO's Grey Gardens) and Yuda Acco (Cartoon Network's Ben 10: Alien Swarm). The awards will be presented during a ceremony at the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA on Sat., Feb. 13.
