2009 Scream Awards
The Scream Awards is an award show dedicated to the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy genres of feature films, hosted and sponsored by Spike TV. The show was created by executive producers Michael Levitt, Cindy Levitt, and Casey Patterson.
Billed simply as Scream 2009, the 2009 ceremony was held at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on October 17 and was broadcast on October 27, 2009.
Instead of hosts and musical acts, the show concentrated on the films, showing outtakes from Star Trek, a behind the scenes video from the upcoming New Moon, a new trailer for Shutter Island, among others.
Notable appearances included William Shatner accepting the Ultimate Scream award for J.J. Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek franchise.
This was the first year that the show did not have any musical performances.
