The 52nd Saturn Awards show took place on Sunday, February 2, where it celebrated the best in genre storytelling in 2024.
The event, which was commemorated by The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror, was hosted by Community star Joel McHale.
The festivities were attended by some of the biggest stars and creative talents from some of the most popular films and shows out there, including Dune: Part Two, Fallout, Alien: Romulus, Superman & Lois, From, and so many more.
The Film Winners at the Saturn Awards
When it comes to the film side of the Saturn Awards, the biggest winners shared a three-way split.
Dune: Part Two, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and Deadpool & Wolverine all got four different awards each.
The number of awards for Dune: Part Two received isn't too surprising given its already earned accolades at other award events such as the Grammys and Golden Globes—and its five nominations at the Oscars.
However, the domination of both Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Deadpool & Wolverine is a little more surprising, especially since both received zero Oscar nominations.
