Genre films typically do not get a love of love from award shows such as the Golden Globes and The Oscars. Thankfully, The Saturn Awards is dedicated to honoring fantasy, sci-fi, and horror films. On Sunday, February 2nd, the 52nd annual Saturn Awards was held at Hilton Universal City in Los Angeles. The big winner was Dune: Part Two, which won five awards. Other winners included Deadpool & Wolverine and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
One such talented artist to win an award was Danny Elfman, who won Best Film Music for composing the music of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. After receiving his award, he took to the press room to talk about his history with Tim Burton and got to work on the world of Beetlejuice again.
Joel McHale hosted for the third time in a row, and last year’s guests included director James Cameron (Avatar) and producer Jon Landau (Avatar), who passed away in 2024 and was honored at this year’s awards show.
In the films category, Dune: Part Two won for Best Science Fiction Film, Film Direction, Production Design, Visual Effects, and Best Supporting Actress for Rebecca Ferguson.
Colin Farrell and Rosario Dawson won Best Actor and Best Actress in a Television Series, respectively.
Xolo Maridueña won Best Yount Performer in a Television Series for Cobra Kai.
Nicolas Cage won Best Actor in a Film for Dream Scenario. The actor praised the late director David Lunch and was vocal against AI.
Fallout won Best Science Fiction Television Series and House of the Dragon won Best Fantasy Series.
The Saturn Awards was created in 1973 by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
Dafne Keen, who starred in Deadpool & Wolverine, was in attendance, and Nerd Reactor had the chance to chat with the actor about her role as X-23 in the Marvel Studios film.
