On Monday June 10th the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films handed out the 28th Annual Saturn Awards for excellence in genre entertainment. Cinescape sponsored the event, which took place at the St.Regis Hotel in Century City, California.
Witchblade's Yancy Butler won the Saturn for Best TV Actress. Michael Rosenbaum won the Best Supporting Actor-Television Award for his work as Lex Luthor on Smallville. Cinsescape reports, "Michael Rosenbaum, while receiving the award for best supporting actor on TV for his work as Lex Luthor on Smallville, punned off the name of the Saturn, and said he was expecting to be awarded a Saturn car before he was filled in on the particulars of the evening. He joked it was his first award since getting the most-improved speller in grade school."
Wannabe superhero, Nicholas Cage presented Stan "The Man" Lee with the Life Career Award. Cage said, "He's the reason I learned to read. I even took my name form one of his characters, Luke Cage, Hero For Hire."
Stan enjoyed a large standing ovation and then gave an acceptance speech in which he talked about the growing popularity of genre entertainment. Lee said, "With Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Attack of the Clones and a little trifle called Spider-Man the rest of the world is catching up to where we've been all along."
