The 29th Annual
Saturn Awards were held last night in Hollywood and despite ten nominations, the STAR TREK franchise only nabbed one honor on the night. According to
Sci-Fi Wire, old age proved no deterrent for STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, which won for best
television DVD release. ST:TNG is no stranger to the Saturns, taking home the best genre television series award in 1989 and 1991.
ENTERPRISE had received four nominations, including best network television series, which went to ABC's ALIAS. Scott Bakula ('Jonathan Archer') and THE DEAD ZONE's Anthony Michael Hall lost in the best actor category to ANGEL's David Boreanez, while the departing BUFFY's Alyson Hannigan took the best supporting actress honor in a category that included last year's winner, Jolene Blalock ('T'Pol') (story). Both Jeri Ryan ('Seven of Nine') and Kate Mulgrew ('Kathryn Janeway') have taken home acting honors at the Saturns, but there was no joy for Connor Trinneer ('Trip Tucker') in the best supporting actor category, which was awarded to Victor Garber of ALIAS.
In the world of genre features, STAR TREK NEMESIS failed to woo a Saturn in either best science-fiction film or best supporting actor categories; Tom Hardy ('Shinzon') was nominated in the latter, which went to THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS' Andy Serkis for the character of 'Gollum'. Both NEMESIS costume designer Bob Ringwood and make-up artist Michael Westmore were nom'd for their work but the results in those categories has not been made available. Deborah Everton won in 1997 for her costume work in STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT, a film that also took home best supporting actor and supporting actress awards for Brent Spiner ('Data') and Alice Krige ('Borg Queen').
Last August's STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN - The Director's Edition was up for best classic feature DVD release but succumbed to the adorable E.T. Michael Piller's THE DEAD ZONE was nominated in the best syndicated/cable series category but the winner there was FARSCAPE.
