35th Saturn Award Winners

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films has announced the winners for the 35th Annual Saturn Awards held yesterday evening. Not surprisingly, Christopher Nolan's highly praised The Dark Knight was the toast of the ceremony, garnering five awards including Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film, Best Writing: Christopher Nolan & Jonathan Nolan, Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, Best Music: Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard and Best Special Effects. Another superhero film that came out on top is Iron Man with three awards for Best Science Fiction Film, Best Actor: Robert Downey, Jr. and Best Director: Jon Favreau while Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy II: The Golden Army wins only Best Horror Film. Let the Right One In and Pixar's Wall-E, two films we wholeheartedly endorse around these parts, takes a well-deserved Best International Film and Best Animated Film respectively.
