The nominations for the Best Actor (Film) category at this year’s Ion Sci-Fi Screen Awards (the Ions) have been announced:

• Timothee Chalamet (Dune)
• Florence Pugh (Black Widow)
• Tom Hanks (Fitch)
• Nora Arzeneder (The Colony)
• Anna Kendrick (Stowaway)

To be eligible, the actor must have been credited in a feature or short film (including live action or animation) released commercially in Australia during 2021.

Nominations are made by the awards expert panel which includes Ion Sci-Fi editorial staff and regular contributors to the show. A different category is presented for audience voting each week, with the results combined equally with the experts’ vote to determine the winner. 

A special edition of Ion Sci-Fi will announce the winners at the end of the current series. 

The Ion Sci-Fi Awards are presented in partnership with the Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival.
