The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror commemorated style leisure’s finest at the 51st Saturn Awards ceremony on February 4, 2024, in Los Angeles, California. This 12 months’s finest included a lot of Star Trek and a brand-new Kevin Feige hat, which the President of Marvel Studios wore whereas presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to the Star Trek: The Next Generation solid (let’s be actual: Feige’s baseball cap’s Logan/Deadpool mash-up is sort of as newsworthy as this 12 months’s award winners).
The annual Saturn Awards are hosted by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, a non-profit group based in 1972 by movie historian Doctor Donald A. Reed to advertise style movie manufacturing and tv programming, that are typically ignored by mainstream award exhibits. Currently, the group is headed by President Robert Holguin and Saturn leaders Bradley Marcus and Kevin Marcus.
This 12 months’s awards have been hosted for the second 12 months in a row by Joel McHale, star of DC’s Stargirl, Community, and Crime Scene Kitchen, voted one among the finest tv collection of 2023 by the Comics News Insider podcast.
After being snubbed by the Emmy Awards and Golden Globes, Star Trek swept this 12 months’s Saturn Awards ceremony, with a number of exhibits and their stars taking house awards. In the foremost awards ceremony, Star Trek: Picard was nominated for seven awards in 5 classes, and it took house 4. Meanwhile, the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was nominated for six awards in 5 classes, but it surely solely took house one for Best Featured Guest Star in a Television Series, the place Paul Wesley received for his function as the younger Captain James T. Kirk, beating out Amanda Plummer‘s look as the ever-unpredictable Vadic on Picard (which is, for my part, one among the finest visitor appearances on Star Trek, like ever).
Also nominated for an award in the Best Animated Series or Special class was Star Trek: Lower Decks. However, it misplaced to Star Wars: Bad Batch.
In addition, the Lifetime Achievement Award went to the TNG solid, and it was so good to see Will Wheaton get the recognition he deserves as a necessary crew member.
