This past Saturday the 4th Annual Spacey Awards, Canada’s premiere event that honors the best in sci-fi and fantasy entertainment, was aired on CHUM Television. The event, created by CHUM Entertainment, which started out as a semi-serious look at award shows, while still having elements of tongue-in-cheek, is quickly becoming a prestigious scifi award event.
There were no real surprises in this year’s list of winners except for the conspicuous absence of “The 4400” from any of the television categories.
And the winners are:
Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie: Peter Jackson’s remake of “King Kong”
Best Non-human Performer: Andy Serkis (King Kong)
Best Horror Film: “Land of the Dead”
Best Movie Adapted From a Comic Book Series: “Sin City”
Best Movie Hero: Batman (of Batman Begins)
Best Movie Villain: Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith)
Best Action Sequence: Darth Vader/Obi Wan Light Saber Duel (from Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith)
Best Special Effects: Darth Vader/Obi Wan Light Saber Duel (from Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith)
Favorite Television Program: “Battlestar Galactica”
Favorite New Character in a Television Series: Lt Col Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) (from Stargate SG-1)
Favorite Television Ensemble Cast: “Stargate SG-1”
Best Animated Movie: “Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit”
Favorite Video Game: “Resident Evil 4”
Lifetime Achievement Award: Roger Corman
Special Achievement Award: Stan Winston (for his 30-years of work in makeup effects)
And the Favorite Movie of all time: drum roll please: “Serenity”
It was yet another great SPACEYs awards show!
It even starred TD’s boss, and a couple of his associates. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t TD0013, as they weren’t sand troopers, and I’m fairly confident that Thirteen wouldn’t drink Strawberry Daiquiris. 😉
I know that SPACE usually reruns their in-house programming quite often, so next time you’re flying to England, stop off in Canada for a layover and watch the SPACIES!
Go Serenity! And BSG, Stargate and Batman too. And even though the movie was mostly a piece of crap, SWIII probably does deserve those awards (except the villan one – you can’t go past Scarecrow for that).
Nice to see “Serenity” made it… Great Movie and I miss the series…
I agree with all of them cept I haven’t seen King Kong yet But I think there may be another out there I would have picked instead..
What?!? No love for Dr Who?!?
REVENOG of the Sith?
