The Saturn Awards is one of our favorite events every year, being huge fans of genre entertainment that is often (shamefully) overlooked at the rest of the Awards shows. This year Comic Books won big time, and stars from The Flash, The Walking Dead, and more came out to celebrate!
The 41st Annual Saturn Awards were held in Burbank, California. The guest list
totaled over 500 and included many top film and television industry leaders as well
as enthusiastic fans, leaders, and members of our illustrious organization.
Several special awards were presented throughout the evening to artists who work
in the film and television field.
Receiving the Dan Curtis Legacy Award was writer/producer Carlton Cuse who
recently wrote the screenplay for the successful film, San Andreas. He is the
creator and executive producer of The Strain and Bates Motel.
Bob Cobert received The Life Career Award for his generous contribution to the
Arts through his music composition. His body of work includes Dark Shadows,
The Winds of War, The Night Stalker, Trilogy of Terror, and several game show
themes including The $25,000 Pyramid and Tic Tac Dough.
Noah Wyle was bestowed The Artists Showcase Award which recognizes his
achievements in film, television, and live stage productions.
The Breakthrough Performance Award was presented to Grant Gustin for his
electrifying performance as Barry Allen / The Flash on the hit series of the
same name.
Television series Continuum was awarded The Special Recognition Award
for bringing quality entertainment to television through its superlative acting,
spirited direction, and compelling writing.
The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films is a non-profit
organization designed to honor, promote and recognize genre entertainment.
Through the Saturn Awards, the organization has become a distinctive group in
presenting awards of excellence to genre entertainment and entertainment which
showcases high quality in other genres of interest in film and television. The
Academy was founded by Dr. Donald A. Reed in 1972.
