Director JJ Abram’s homage to his childhood, the 70s and 50′s alien/horror films has been nominated for a solid if not stunning 7 Silver Lena’s awards. These include a Best Director nomination for JJ and a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Elle Fanning. Last year, JJ won two awards, Coolest Director and The “Jackie Chan” Award For Happiest Movie Goodness for his successful reboot of Star Trek (Which itself won for Coolest Film).
