SCI FI PI

The Saturn awards has just finished off it's 34th annual shindig and announced the winners of all things Sci Fi, Fantasy & Genre for 2007.

Enchanted won three Saturn Awards including Best Picture (fantasy), and Best Actress (Amy Adams). Television honors were dominated by Lost, which walked away with 4 awards, including Best Network Television Series and Best Actor (Matthew Fox). Sweeney Todd, Ratatouille, and 300 each received two Saturn Awards.

The full name for the people behind the Saturn Awards is "The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films" - and they're suitably impresseive-sounding enough to coax Guillermo del Toro to fly in from London to accept the prestigious George Pal Memorial Award for his visionary genius. Highly respected producers Robert Halmi, Sr. and Robert Halmi, Jr. received the Life Career Award for their successful body of work. Director Matt Reeves was also given the Filmmakers Showcase Award for his work in directing the Cloverfield.
