Awards Watch: Saturns 2008

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films were thoroughly Enchanted when it came time to hand out their Saturn Awards last night. The live action fairy tale won three Saturns, including Best Fantasy Film and Best Actress for Amy Adams. The remaining top film prizes went to Cloverfield (Sci-Fi), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Horror), 300 (Action/Adventure/Thriller), Eastern Promises (International) and Ratatouille (Animated).

No Country for Old Men's Javier Bardem added another trophy to his crowded mantel as Best Supporting Actor. Other acting honors went to I Am Legend's Will Smith, The Mist's Marcia Gay Harden and August Rush's Freddie Highmore, while 300's Zack Snyder and Ratatouille's Brad Bird took home the directing and writing awards, respectively.

On the television side, Lost found four Saturns, for Best Network Series and acting wins for Matthew Fox, Michael Emerson and Elizabeth Mitchell. See the comments section below for a quick look at all the winners.

Awards Watch: MTV Movie Awards 2008

Transformers may have snatched the Best Movie prize at the 17th Annual MTV Movie Awards this past weekend, but it was Johnny Depp who was the biggest winner, nabbing two Golden Popcorn awards. Depp was voted Best Villain for his throat-slashing title character in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Best Comedic Performance for his Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The latter was his third MTV Movie Award as the rum-soaked swashbuckler of the blockbuster franchise.

I Am Legend's Will Smith and Juno's Ellen Page took the top performance prizes, while Hairspray's Zac Efron trumped the Superbad boys for Breakthrough Performance. Three 2008 movies, Step Up 2 the Streets, Never Back Down and Iron Man, round out the rest of the winners.

Awards Watch: I Want My MTV

It was a good day for Michael Cera yesterday. The star of Superbad and Juno saw both of his movies from last year nominated for this year's MTV Movie Awards, with a combined total of nine nominations, including three nods for himself. Joining the two comedies in the Best Movie race are I Am Legend, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Transformers (that's right, Toto, we're not at the Oscars any more).

The Enchanted Amy Adams also picked up three nods, and Johnny Depp was nominated for both his Captain Jack and Sweeney Todd. Hairspray cuties Nikki Blonsky and Zac Efron are up for Breakthrough Performance (along with Superbad's Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jonah Hill), but not Best Kiss (!). The biggest headscratcher though is Jessica Biel actually being nominated for her acting (and for I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, no less).

For a quick look at the nominees, see the comments section below, then head over to MTV.com to vote on the awards yourself. The "Golden Popcorns" will be handed out June 1 on, naturally, MTV. Mike Myers will be on hand to shill his upcoming movie The Love Guru ... I mean host.
