Summer Glau wins Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress
for her role in Serenity. And as reported elsewhere, Joss picked up the award on her behalf at last night's ceremony.

About membership.
Pity about Star Wars III beating Serenity in the best Sci-Fi catagory though. I bet the result would have been differnt if everyone who voted were required to have seen all the nominated films.
On a side note, I am pleasantly suprised Kristen Bell won best TV actress for Veronica Mars (another of my votes). In fact, looking down the list, 5 of my 7 choices won in the TV categories, which is cool.

But Star Wars III? - I have just one word (all together now) "Noooooooooo"

Actually not a bad set of results with the Kirsten Bell and Katee Sackhoff nods (also glad to see James Callis get one for Balthar - easily one of the best supporting characters on TV right now) and not too many going to Revenge of the Sith.
(i'm astonished that it's taken them this long to honour Ray Harryhausen though, he's a true genre legend)

Yay Kirsten!
On Ep. 3: "Nooooooo" indeed. At least Lucas didn't win best director.

But, Ep III, I can only agree with other comments... Bleh.

Awesome.

Congrats to Summer. I wonder if Joss did an acceptance speech?
I'm still grumbling about Nathan getting basically no awards for Serenity. That is my new chip on my shoulder, and I carry it well.
gossi | May 03, 07:47 CET
Yay, Summer, but that was no "supporting" role.
Yay, KB.
VM isn't scifi/fantasy, but Saturn Awards say they recognize "genre". I'd say VM qualifies.
Matthew Fox best actor on TV? He's not even the best actor on that show!

It's made up of invited members (i.e., actors, directors or anyone associated with the genre field really), but they have also recently opened up mebership to the public. If you live in Califronia there are various prices of membership that give you different levels of benefits. Outside of California, you can become a member for $40, that bascially just lets you vote in certain categories (plus you get a few freebies such as mebership card, calender etc...).
I joined last year, but being as I'm just one of 2 members from the UK the guy in charge (Robert Holguin) kindly let me vote in every category. So you can rest assured that Serenity got a least one vote!

At least BSG was more successful. I guess the Jury was just stoned out of their minds on the 'Movie selection' day.

I wonder if she's still shooting her new 4400 appearance(s) right now, if she wasn't there to pick up the reward herself.
Slightly relevant, since this is, after all, about Summer--does anyone know anyplace to get good images of the shots of River used in the British advertising campaign? Those huge ones from the subway?

Yay for Summer and Kristen!

Moving on...
Yay for Summer! Also glad for Kristen.
And am I the only one here who loved Episode III? I mean, it was far from being as great as Serenity, but it did make #10 on my top 10 of '05 list.

Hmm... 4276 members... incredible diversity... no accounting for taste...
Overall? Probably not. There are probably 1-2 others hiding somewhere. ;-)
jclemens | May 03, 11:58 CET
How many films did you see in 2005 UnpluggedCrazy ? Was it 10 by any chance ? ;-)
For what it's worth, I didn't hate RoTS (apart from a few bits, 'Nooooooo' being top of the list), I just thought it fell far, far short of what it could have been.
(and though I thought Kong was OK, I agree that it was overlong and that the '33 original is better)
Saje | May 03, 12:55 CET
I heard they totally had to fix Kong's performance in the editing room. They even had to CGI some of it. ;-)
Yays to the same people yayed above, same grumbles about omissions, but, at least Summer got some award love. :-)

Matthew Fox as best actor did seem pretty odd to me. And I was surprised to see "Corpse Bride" over "Wallace & Gromit".
EDIT: Gossi, I liked "WotW" too. I didn't like the ending, but I didn't really expect a different ending, since that's how the source material ends. (HG was a little overly optimistic sometimes.) Lots of genuine suspense. Spielberg ain't perfect, but he really does know how to make good movie.

Still, any idea which leads to
is fine with me. Poetry, Herbert, pure poetry ;).
Saje | May 03, 15:01 CET
And billz...my twin, I am sorry. :-(
Well, hey, twins disagree...sometimes...
UnpluggedCrazy | May 03, 19:13 CET
I'm so proud!
And I'm glad to see Kristen Bell winning as well.
And for the debate, I loved (totally) War of the Worlds and King Kong.
And Lost, and Matthew Fox :P
