If you’re down because some of the best genres of film get completely shut out and ignored by the “regular” awards shows in season, fret not, because The Saturn Awards are here. They held their awards show last night on a rainy day in Southern California and The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Horror brought the stars out. Since its inception in 1972, they’ve handed out awards for these underlooked genres. It was hosted by Joel McHale and if you missed the broadcast on ElectricNOW, you can watch a replay throughout the month.

They handed out special awards in addition to the normal yearly winners. Christopher Nolan was presented with The Saturn’s Visionary Award by Oppenheimer co-star Emily Blunt who won Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film.  The legendary pop icon William Shatner presented Seth MacFarlane with the prestigious Robert Forster Artists Award and Dave Filoni received his George Pal Memorial Award by Ming-Na Wen who won last year’s  Best TV Actress for her role in The Book of Boba Fett. Keanu Reeves was in attendance to receive the very first Lance Reddick Legacy Award, presented to him by Titus Welliver star of Bosch and Bosch: Legacy and Jodie Foster was presented with The Life Career Award by Issa López, writer and director of the fourth season of True Detective: Night Country.
