Marriott Burbank Hotel. Nominations were announced on March 4, 2021. Bruce Campbell hosted the event.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker scored the most film nominations overall with twelve, including Best Science Fiction Film Release. It is one of several films from the previous year's film awards season that was eligible after the group extended its eligibility period to run July 15, 2019 – November 15, 2020, and allowed streaming and VOD titles to qualify for the film categories. The Star Wars franchise ended up winning seven awards thanks to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the live-action series The Mandalorian. The Star Trek franchise earned the most awards in the television categories, thanks to the three awards won by Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard.
