The
43rd Annual Saturn Awards celebrated the best and the
brightest in genre entertainment tonight, with Lucasfilm/Disney’s
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story capturing three statuettes in the
Film Category, tying with Paramount’s science fiction thriller 10
Cloverfield Lane. One of the entertainment industry’s most
highly-anticipated evenings, the yearly gathering of the Academy of
Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films also bestowed Saturn gold
to such television favorites (and previous Saturn Award vets) as
AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” HBO’s “Westworld,” CW’s
“Riverdale” and “Supergirl” and Starz’ “Outlander.”
Hosted by fan favorite Sean Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and
2), the festivities took place at the legendary Castaway in
Burbank, California.
Rogue
One: A Star Wars Story won Best Science Fiction Film, Best
Director (Gareth Edwards), and Best Special Effects (John Knoll,
Mohen Leo, Hal Hickel, Neil Corbould), while the psychological
thriller 10 Cloverfield Lane nabbed Best Actress (Mary
Elizabeth Winstead) and Best Supporting Actor (John Goodman) honors
in addition to Best Thriller Film. Two Saturn Awards each went to
Marvel’s mind-bending epic Doctor Strange (Best
Comic-to-Film Motion Picture; Best Supporting Actress Tilda Swinton),
Disney’s The BFG (Best Production Design Rick Carter &
Robert Stromberg and Best Editing Michael Kahn), and Lionsgate’s La
La Land (Best Independent Film and Best Music Justin Hurwitz).
Additional film winners include Best Horror Film to Don’t
Breathe (Screen Gems/Sony), Disney’s The Jungle Book for
Best Fantasy Film, the space race saga Hidden Figures (Fox)
tapped as Best Action/Adventure Film, Pixar/Disney’s Finding
Dory hooked Best Animated Film and Amazon/Magnolia’s The
Handmaiden for Best International Film. Ryan Reynolds’
crowd-pleasing performance as the ultra-sarcastic superhero Deadpool
won for Best Actor, with Tom Holland’s appearance as everyone’s
friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in Marvel’s Captain America:
Civil War earning recognition for Best Performance by a Younger
Actor.
The
small screen always scores big at the Saturn Awards and tonight was
no exception. The unstoppable walkers of AMC’s global TV phenomenon
“The Walking Dead” proved just as invincible last
night, garnering three Saturn Awards for Best Horror TV Series, Best
Actor on Television (Andrew Lincoln), and Best Guest Star on
Television (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). HBO’s “Westworld” 21st
century reboot outdrew the competition for two awards: Best Science
Fiction TV Series and Best Supporting Actor on Television (Ed
Harris). In a rare tie, Best New Media TV Series was split between
“Marvel’s Luke Cage” and the retro hit “Stranger Things,”
both on Netflix. 2017 also saw a new Saturn Award inaugurated in the
Television category: Best Animated TV Series, won by Disney
XD/Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars Rebels.” Other acting winners in the
Television categories include Candace Patton (CW’s “The Flash”)
for Best Supporting Actress on Television, and Millie Bobby Brown
(“Stranger Things”) for Best Younger TV Actor.
Lee
Majors, cherished by millions of fans as the iconic “Bionic Man”
from the 1970s TV series “The Six Million Dollar Man”, received
the Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by his fellow
co-star Bruce Campbell from the cult favorite Starz series “Ash vs.
Evil Dead.” For a career spanning almost a quarter century,
Oscar-winning writer/producer/director Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful
Mind) was cited with the rarely given Visionary Award. The Filmmakers
Showcase Award was presented the writing/producing team Rick Silver
and Amanda Jaffe, for their continuing support and contributions to
high quality genre entertainment including the critically-acclaimed
Apes film series reboots (Rise of the Planet of the Apes,
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and this summer’s upcoming War
for the Planet of the Apes), Jurassic World, and Disney’s
live-action Mulan. The outrageous and irreverent Heavy Metal
Magazine – celebrating its 40th anniversary this year –
won a Special Recognition Award and KJ Apa of the CW’s “Riverdale”
received the Breakthrough Performance Award.
