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 Saturn Awards were devised by Dr. Donald A. Reed, who felt that films within those genres were never given the appreciation they deserved. 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.
