As you might expect, Avatar dominated the evening. It not only was named Best Science Fiction Film but also won Best Actor and Actress: Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, Best Supporting Actor and Actress: Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver, Best Special Effects, Best Music, Best Production Design, and Best Writer and Director for James Cameron — who holds the record for most Saturn Awards wins of all time.
So, who in our genre did take home the gold?
Drag Me to Hell – Best Horror Film
District 9 – Best International Film
Monsters vs. Aliens – Best Animated Film
Saoirse Ronan of The Lovely Bones – Best Performance by a Younger Actor
Julie Benz of “Dexter” – Best Supporting Actress on Television
In addition, Watchmen (I know, not horror, but it still has lots of fans here on Dread Central) won in three categories: Best Fantasy Film, Best Costume, and Best DVD Special Edition (for “The Ultimate Cut”). “Lost” received Best Network TV Series, Best TV Actor: Josh Holloway, and Best DVD Television Release while “Fringe” garnered two awards for Best TV Actress: Anna Torv and Best Actor in a Guest-Starring Role: Leonard Nimoy.
