“We hope that this year’s Saturn Awards will celebrate our vibrant community and genre family, just as it did after the Covid crisis. Coming together with old and new friends is essential during challenging times. The Saturn Awards have always been about more than just winning or losing; it’s a celebration of the movies, shows, and people we cherish,” Robert Holguin, president of the Academy, and Bradley Marcus and Kevin Marcus, awards producers, said in a statement.

Shatner, who played Captain Kirk in the “Stark Trek” franchise, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. “Back to the Future” will be honored for its 40th anniversary through the George Pal Memorial Award, which recognizes achievement in specific genres. Actors Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson, composer Alan Silvestri and writer and producer Bob Gale, will be the film’s representatives.

The Spotlight Award, which the Academy gives to standout works, will go to the stars and team behind “Fallout.” The series on Prime Video is a video game adaptation set centuries after a nuclear apocalypse.
