Awards & NominationsGeneral Informations:The Spacey Awards (also referred to as The Spaceys) are awards presented by the Canadian cable network Space. Awards are presented in the areas of sci-fi, fantasy and horror films, television series and video games. Some of the awards are voted on by the viewers choice and the others by SPACE employees.
The awards are notable for their use of humor, often with skits built around both the presenting and the receiving of awards. Rather than hosting a formal ceremony, SPACE instead takes the awards to the winners, often visiting them on the set of their latest production, or in some other setting. Richard Dean Anderson of Stargate SG-1 is particularly notable for his comedic acceptance speeches (one of which during the 2nd Spacey Awards ran so long it was run in instalments throughout the broadcast). Anderson was not nominated for the 4th annual awards as he was no longer a cast member of Stargate, so instead he presented an award (ironically to the actor who replaced him on Stargate) via an extended art film parody of My Dinner with Andre.
The awards have been hosted since their inception by Natasha Eloi and Jonathan Llyr, with Kim Poirier becoming co-host with the 2005 awards. She appeared at the first Spacey Awards too.
A special The Best of the Spaceys, hosted by Eloi, Llyr and Poirier, showing clips from past awards aired on May 18, 2007.
It's unknown whether there will be anymore Spacey Awards since CTV took over the Space channel.
The Teen Choice Awards is an awards show presented annually by FOX (United States) and Global TV (Canada). The program honors the year's biggest achievements in music, movies, sports, and television, as voted on by teens aged 12-19. The program usually features a high number of celebrities and musical performers. The winners are awarded with lifesize surfboards, fit to the summertime theme. The ceremony has also created spin-off teen awards on YouTube[1].
Starting in 1999[2], the Teen Choice Awards were presented weeks prior to the televised event up through 2005. Since 2006, the program has been televised live.
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 prestigious 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.
Similar to other awards, like the Oscars, the Emmys and the Grammys, the Saturn Awards are voted on by members of the presenting Academy. There are also special awards for lifetime achievement in the field.
The awards were first presented in 1972.
The
Satellite Awards are an annual award given by the International Press Academy. The awards were originally known as the Golden Satellite Awards.
The SyFy Genre Awards were started in 1999 [1] and have continued every year since 2002 in the months following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Originally part of the Web site SyFy World, founded by Michael Hinman, the awards carried over and continued after its merger with Star Trek Portal in 2001.
Technical glitches have plagued the awards over the years, many times causing late starts or delaying the reporting of winners.[2] Many times, these glitches were caused by larger than anticipated numbers in voting, or attempts to try and circumvent the awards' voting rules of once per day per e-mail address. Once the delays were caused by a site hack. [3]
In 2006, two television series: Firefly and Wonderfalls, both of which had been off the air for at least two years, suddenly became eligible for nomination in the Genre Awards because rules specifically stated eligibility was based on first-run episodes.[4] SciFi Channel and Logo both aired previously unaired episodes of both series during the 2005-06 nominating period, allowing them to be eligible. "Firefly" ended up winning five awards.[5]
While past ballots required users to register to help prevent ballot-stuffing, site officials said in 2006 they're tracking ballots through IP addresses. This has generated some complaints from users, who are being locked out of voting because someone else in their IP family is voting. In 2007 the awards returned to tracking based on email address, simply ignoring multiple votes from a single email address in a single day.
Each year, the parent Web site chooses up to 25 people from around the world to choose their favorite actors, television series, episodes and movies in more than a dozen categories.
All of the nominations from each committee member is ranked, which helps generate the list of five nominees for each category.
To be eligible, nominees must have appeared on American television between June 1 and May 31 each year, which covers standard television production seasons.
For one month, between June 25 and July 25 each year, visitors to the site can vote for their favorites in each category once per day. Over the years, SyFy Genre Awards votes have cast more than 3 million votes.
