Movie

The outer-space movie nabbed Best Science Fiction Release and four other awards, defeating other sci-fi and adventure films.

AceShowbiz - "Interstellar" won big at the 41st Annual Saturn Awards, taking six awards including Best Science Fiction Release. The film competed with other tentpole films such as "Edge of Tomorrow", "Godzilla" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" before finally announced as the winner.

"Interstellar" also won Best Film Writing with Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan as the scriptwriters. Accepting the honor, Jonah Nolan explained briefly about the film to the audience, " 'Interstellar' is the story of a man who goes on an arduous journey, comes back 100 years later to find that nobody remembers him or gives a f**k about what he was doing." He added, "It's a pretty good metaphor for writing a studio film."

The outer-space movie won four other awards including Best Performance by a Younger Actor in a Film (MacKenzie Foy), Best Film Editing, Best Film Production Design and Best Film Music.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" was also shining at the awards. Starring Chris Pratt, the movie took four awards including Best Comic Book-to-Film Release. James Gunn, the director of the film, was called to the podium to accept the top honor for the film. He read a message from Pratt instead of giving his own acceptance speech. "James Gunn is the future. He's a genius. I tried every day to do one thing: Give myself over to the creative vision of the man who is up there accepting this award on my behalf," he said.

Pratt gave a little joke in his message, announcing that Gunn's still single, "He will always be my trusted leader and friend... and ladies, he is single. Right? Are you? We haven't talked in a couple weeks. It doesn't matter, he is single tonight. I'd like to open the bidding at $1,000 for James. Ha ha, is he blushing? James, ask the audience if you are red."

Pratt was supposed to be at podium to receive Best Actor in a Film for "Guardians of the Galaxy". Since he couldn't attend the event, he asked Gunn to accept the honor for him.
