The 2010 Saturn Awards were presented last night by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, recognizing excellence in the genre fields of movie and television and… Well, I don’t think anyone was too amazed to see James Cameron’s Avatar doing so well, or nods for Lost, District 9 and Fringe. In fact, the most surprising award of the night may have been Torchwood: Children of Earth getting “Best Presentation on Television” – Something that I think Starz will be very happy about, considering their co-production of the show’s fourth season.
