2018 Saturn Awards Winners: 'The Last Jedi' Wins Best Actor & Best Writing
Take that, haters?
"Black Panther" pounced to the top of the 2018 Saturn Awards. The Marvel film won five times at the 44th Annual Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films Saturn Awards.
However, Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa lost Best Actor to Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." Rian Johnson also won best writing for his "The Last Jedi" screenplay.
On the film side, the 2018 Saturn list is a mix of movies we already saw at this year's Oscars -- like "The Shape of Water," "Coco," and "Get Out" -- and films like "Black Panther" that may show up at the 2019 Oscars.
On the TV side, "The Walking Dead" still got a little bit of love -- with Chandler Riggs (Carl Grimes) picking up an award for his final season -- but even more love went to "Better Call Saul."
Here's Mark Hamill reacting to his and the other "Star Wars" wins:
