What are the Saturn Awards?
The Saturn Awards is the official award presentation voted by the members of the The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. Our organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which was founded in 1972. In the begining, the organization’s focus was to honor and recognize the genres of science fiction, fantasy and horror films. As the Academy became established in the world of genre entertainment and the film entertainment industry, the focus was broadened to include additional genres to the awards process. Additionally, we began voting awards of honor in the fields of television, home entertainment and, on occasion, live stage production.
The Saturn Awards is considered the premier organization in honoring and recognizing multi-genre entertainment. The event is annually supported and co-sponsored by the biggest and most successful talent and visionaries working in the film and teleivison field today. The organization has been presenting awards for over four decades.
Former winners include Bryan Fuller and Vince Gillian.
The Awards will not be televised, but you can follow here at the Saturn Award Twitter.

The media outlet asked for questions they could ask the Js on the red carpet. Speculation is that the boys may be presenting the award to Eric. That would be wonderful!
