Spike TV's third annual "SCREAM" awards, honoring the best in fantasy, sci-fi, comics and horror, were presented Saturday night at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The show featured appearances by the industry's biggest stars including Kate Beckinsale, Kristen Bell, Rosario Dawson, the cast of "Dexter," Jon Favreau, the cast of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Samuel L. Jackson, Milla Jovovich, Stan Lee, Gary Oldman, the Osbournes, Seth Rogen, Winona Ryder, Kevin Smith and Liv Tyler, among many others. The two-hour extravaganza also included musical performances by Grammy Award-winning band Smashing Pumpkins and up-and-coming pop sensation Kerli. "SCREAM 2008" will premiere on Spike TV on Tuesday, October 21 (9:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT).

George Lucas shocked and thrilled the audience when he walked out on stage flanked by Stormtroopers to accept the Comic-Con Icon Award at SCREAM 2008. This rare appearance by one of the most iconic and influential filmmakers of all time brought the stunned crowd to its feet.

Additional honors for excellence were bestowed upon actor Sir Anthony Hopkins and filmmakers Tim Burton and Wes Craven. Sir Anthony Hopkins received the Legend Award for his tremendous contributions to films in the SCREAM genres while Wes Craven collected the SCREAM Mastermind Award for his terrifying and iconic work in the world of horror. Tim Burton received the SCREAM IMMORTAL Award for his remarkably unique interpretation of horror and fantasy.

Box office hit and critically acclaimed film, The Dark Knight dominated the competition collecting twelve awards including the nights' most prestigious award, The Ultimate Scream, accepted by the films' producers, Charles Roven, Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan. The Dark Knight co-stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and Gary Oldman each scored awards, as Bale took home Best Superhero and Oldman Best Supporting Actor, while Ledger was named both Best Fantasy Actor and Best Villain for his portrayal of the Joker. Director Christopher Nolan scored the Best Director trophy and the Best Screamplay, along with Jonathon Nolan and David S. Goyer.

Iron Man and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street each took home two awards. Iron Man star Robert Downey, Jr. accepted the Best Actor in a Science Fiction Movie or TV Show award from the set of his new film Sherlock Holmes in London with director Guy Ritchie making a surprise cameo appearance.

Spike TV also debuted world premiere and exclusive never-before-seen footage from several highly anticipated theatrical releases including Watchmen, Friday The 13th (read footage description) and Twilight.

TDK = Best Movie Ever

Posted by: zach on October 20, 2008 at 03:24:55

giving grant morrison an award for anything takes away any legitamacy of this award show. that and adding so many awards just so tdk could win them.

Posted by: TDK Joker on October 20, 2008 at 03:27:48

I find it quite funny that Wall•E won best breakout performance, but TDK deserves every award that it has won and is going to win.

Posted by: Xero on October 20, 2008 at 03:49:42

Ugh, does this mean we have to hear it from The Dark Knight fanboys for another month? (Q the bashing)

I am happy for Heath Ledger though and do hope he at least gets nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.

Posted by: Ms. Quinn on October 20, 2008 at 03:58:51

Who says they're all fanBOYS? =P

I expected TDK to get numerous awards, but then again, who didn't expect that? haha. Fingers crossed that the same positive results appear at the Academy Awards.

Oh, and I think Grant Morrison is a brilliant writer. Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth is by far my favourite graphic novel. =D

omg, stupid american,

wall e is the best movie of this year,

Posted by: Ronnie on October 20, 2008 at 04:46:43

As expected, just have to hope to people at the big awards show have the guts to actually vote for a great movie like The Dark Knight...I highly doubt it. They'll give it some nominations just so they know a lot more people will watch but they'll pull the rug out from under everyone and some movie that next to no one watching has even seen or will see will win. I usually see and enjoy most the movies that are usually nominated but no one really cares about the oscars and this would be a way to have people care again. Last big numbers they drew had to be The Return of the King, right?

cool as many of you as well did, i actually did say 'holy s#**' during that big rig flip being that i had to sit way up front of the theatre

Posted by: adam wiliams on October 20, 2008 at 06:02:01

it all part of the plan

Posted by: Jade on October 20, 2008 at 06:05:49

Can't wait to watch this Tuesday night! So Christian Bale wasn't there? :(

Posted by: Jade on October 20, 2008 at 06:09:35

@yapyup: The Incredible Hulk was a great movie but I don't see where it should have beat any of the other movies out for anything

Posted by: IronFan72 on October 20, 2008 at 06:54:05

Glad to see Iron Man take home a couple big awards, much deserved, one of the best films of 2008.

Posted by: nameless on October 20, 2008 at 07:11:37

Iron Man had better F/X than the Dark Knight in my opinion. But both are awesome movie.

Posted by: CongoBill on October 20, 2008 at 07:33:21

Dark Knight!!!

Posted by: SuperDude on October 20, 2008 at 07:33:49

Best superhero movie ever, But its the scream awards for horror, Why the **** are superhero movies at the scream awards. Complete bull ****!

Posted by: Liam Halls on October 20, 2008 at 07:52:19

I don't see why the Dark Knight got so many awards, I thought it was ok but not better than Iron Man or The Hulk. Also Christian Bale is a terrible actor, I think they should have picked someone else for the part. But Chris nolan is English so it makes sense that he would pick an English actor for the part.

Anyway lets hope there are no other Batman movies two are enough.
