Alien, Predator, and Alien vs. Predator are three science fiction action/horror film franchises. The four Alien films were released respectively in 1979, 1986, 1992 and 1997, the three Predator films in 1987, 1990 and 2010, and the two crossover films in 2004 and 2007.
Aliens is the most awarded of the three franchises, with nominations in categories ranging from recognition of the visual and sound effects, the design of the recurring alien creature to the critically acclaimed performance of Sigourney Weaver in the role of Ellen Ripley, for which she earned nine nominations and two wins (Saturn Award for Best Actress and Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year Award).[1]
The Alien vs. Predator films did not receive the same critical acclaim, and were both nominated for Golden Raspberry Awards. The Alien Quadrilogy and Alien Anthology DVD and Blu-ray Disc collections have both won medium-specific awards.
