"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" was nominated at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for a Saturn Award, from 1997 to 2000, in Best Genre Cable or Syndicated Series. It was nominated in technical and artistic categories at the Emmys in each season. Cinescape columnist Andrew Hershberger remarked in 2003 on the lack of critical success for science-fiction television: "Nobody cool would dare vote for a sci-fi show Outstanding Drama Series that didn't have Kubrick or Chris Carter's name attached to it ... If "Deep Space Nine" was involved, you'd hear some real complaining on this end."
