From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The Saturn Award is an award presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films to honor the top works in science fiction, fantasy, and horror in film, television, and home video. The Saturn Awards were devised by Dr. Donald A. Reed, who felt that films within those genres were never given the appreciation they deserved.[1] The physical award is a representation of the planet Saturn, surrounded with a ring of film. The award was initially and is still sometimes loosely referred to as a Golden Scroll.

Three actors have won the award more than once: Mark Hamill, Robert Downey Jr., and Jeff Bridges.

The following is a list of Saturn Award winners for Best Actor:[2]
