Vampires ruled
at the 2010 Scream Awards
in Los Angeles on Saturday
night with Twilight’s Kristen
Stewart and the cast of
TV drama True Blood winning
big prizes at the city’s
Greek Theatre,
WENN reports
October 18th, 2010.
Stewart picked up the Best Fantasy
Actress honour at the event,
held to applaud all things sci-fi,
and The Twilight Saga:
Eclipse was named Best
Fantasy Movie.
It was also a big
night for True Blood,
which picked up Best TV Show
from number one fan
Marilyn Manson.
The drama also claimed the
Holy Sh–! Scene of the Year
accolade for its much-publicised
head-twisting sex encounter,
while True Blood stars Alexander
Skarsgard and Anna Paquin were
named Best Horror Actor and Actress.
Other prizes went to Zombieland
(Best Horror Movie),
Ryan Reynolds
(Top Anticipated Movie
for Green Lantern),
Mickey Rourke
(Best Villain for Iron Man 2)
and moviemaker Christopher Nolan
(Most Mind-Bending Film
for Inception).
Halle Berry and Megan Fox
were among the early presenters
but even they failed to steal
the highlight of the night –
as tributes to Back to The Future
and Ghostbusters hit the stage.
Funnyman David Spade stepped
out of Back to The Future‘s
time-travelling DeLorean,
which was driven onstage at
the Greek to a standing ovation
and then he introduced the
film’s stars Michael J. Fox and
Christopher Lloyd,
who were given another
rapturous welcome.
Later,
Bill Murray took to the
stage in his Ghostbusters costume
to accept Zombieland’s
Best Horror Movie prize.
Other highlights included
a guest appearance from
Sir Anthony Hopkins,
who gave the audience a preview
of his upcoming exorcism
movie The Rite.
Horror icon Wes Craven
then joined Scream 4 cast mates
Emma Roberts,
David Arquette and Neve Campbell
to present a world-premiere
teaser for the latest film
in the Scream franchise.
There was even a special
moment for Sigourney Weaver,
who was handed a lifetime
achievement award and rolled
onto the stage in an egg-like
structure similar to the pods
in Avatar.
The very special awards show
was rounded off by a performance
from M.I.A.
