On what was a memorable night for the team behind Avatar: Fire and Ash, Pluribus and Frankenstein, Star Wars made a strong showing at the 53rd Annual Saturn Awards, with a number of nominations and a clutch of wins for Andor (Best Science Fiction TV Series), Diego Luna (Best TV Actor) and Ravi Cabot-Conyers (Best Younger Performer in a Television Series). Congratulations all, and to George Lucas who received the Dr. Donald A. Reed Founder’s Award, presented to him by Mark Hamill.
George Lucas received the Dr. Donald A. Reed Founder’s Award, presented by Mark Hamill. “It’s impossible to overstate George’s contribution to the industry,” Hamill said on stage. “The movie redefined the term blockbuster and had a huge effect on Hollywood and on the world.”
