‘THE LIBRARIAN: THE CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE’ WINS SATURN AWARD FOR BEST PRESENTATION FOR TV

Leonard Nimoy was honored with the lifetime achievement award, THE DARK KNIGHT and BSG among the other winners

LOCATION: Castaways Restaurant in Burbank

THE SKINNY: THE LIBRARIAN: THE CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE took home the Saturn Award for best presentation on television at the 35th annual Saturn Awards held last night.

THE LIBRARIAN: THE CURSE OF THE JUDAS CHALICE, produced by Dean Devlin and Electric Entertainment, was directed by Jonathan Frakes and written by Marco Schnabel. The film, the third in THE LIBRARIAN franchise, follows Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) librarian extraordinaire, an expert in linguistics, ancient customs, swordplay and much more, albeit sometimes his social skills are a bit rusty, as he travels to New Orleans to stop a Russian ex-pat from giving his country the power of Vlad Dracul with the legendary Judas Chalice. The film is a frisky, entertaining and humorous action romp dealing with vampires, legend, kidnapping, mythology and much more.

“It’s always such a thrill to get nominated for a Saturn Award,” says Devlin. “It’s one of the greatest events in Hollywood and I look forward to it every year. Winning for LIBRARIAN 3 made it that much more special.”

Meanwhile, THE DARK KNIGHT shined with five awards, while THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON and IRON MAN took three each.

Other television winners included BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and LOST.
