The Saturn Award is an award presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films to honor the top works in science fiction, fantasy, and horror in film, television, and home video. The Saturn Awards were devised by Dr. Donald A. Reed in 1972, who felt that films within those genres were never given the appreciation they deserved at that time. The physical award is a representation of the planet Saturn, surrounded with a ring of film. The award was initially and is still sometimes loosely referred to as a Golden Scroll.

Similar to other awards, like the Oscars, the Emmys and the Grammys, the Saturn Awards are voted on by members of the presenting Academy. The academy is a non-profit organization with membership open to the public. The first awards were presented in 1972 by William Shatner.

Although the awards still primarily nominate films and TV in the science fiction, fantasy and horror categories, the Saturns have also recognized productions in standard dramatic genres. The 35th annual awards, presented in 2009, for example, included nominations for films ranging from the 1940s wartime classic ''Casablanca'' to the 2008 film ''Slumdog Millionaire''. There are also special awards for lifetime achievement in the field.

Jennifer Leann Carpenter (born December 7, 1979) is an American actress, known for her portrayal of Emily Rose in ''The Exorcism of Emily Rose'', Debra Morgan on ''Dexter,'' and the lead role in the 2008 horror movie ''Quarantine''.

Early life

Carpenter was born in Louisville, Kentucky, the daughter of Catherine (née Mitchell) and Robert Carpenter. She attended Sacred Heart Academy. She trained at the Walden Theatre Conservatory program, and later at the Juilliard School in New York City. Before graduation she was cast in the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's ''The Crucible'' starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.

Career

Carpenter first attracted critical attention for her performance in ''The Exorcism of Emily Rose''. She took home the 2006 MTV Movie Award for "Best Frightened Performance," and also received a Hollywood Life Breakthrough Award. She was also named "Breakout Performer" at the 2006 Scream Awards.

Carpenter currently plays the role of Debra Morgan in the Showtime television series ''Dexter'' which premiered October 1, 2006. Her portrayal of the title character's sister has impressed some critics, with Australian journalist Jack Marx describing her portrayal of "cool and clumsy" Debra as "so perfect that many viewers appear to have mistaken the character's flaws for the actor's."

In 2011, she starred in the Off-Broadway play Gruesome Playground Injuries at Second Stage Theatre.

Personal life

In 2007, she began dating her ''Dexter'' co-star Michael C. Hall, who plays her character's adoptive brother.

Thomas Jane (born Thomas Elliott III; February 22, 1969) is an American actor, known for his roles in the 1999 film ''Deep Blue Sea'', 2001 TV film ''61*'', 2004 film ''The Punisher'', and 2007 Stephen King adaptation ''The Mist''. He currently stars in the HBO comedy-drama series ''Hung''.

Early life

Jane was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Cynthia, an antiques dealer, and Michael Elliott, a biogenetic engineer. In 1987, he graduated from Thomas Sprigg Wootton High School in Montgomery County, Maryland.

Career

Jane began his acting career with the Telugu film Padamati Sandhya Ragam (1986), directed by Jandhyala, a renowned filmmaker in Telugu Cinema. His early roles included Zeph in ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' (1992). He had supporting roles in several high profile films, including ''The Crow: City of Angels'' (1996), ''Boogie Nights'' (1997), ''The Thin Red Line'' (1998), ''Thursday'' (1998) and ''Magnolia'' (1999). After receiving critical acclaim as baseball player Mickey Mantle in ''61*'', Jane began receiving leading roles such as that of Andre Stander in the 2003 South African film, ''Stander'' for which he gained further critical acclaim.

Jane, director Jonathan Hensleigh and Avi Arad have said in many interviews that Jane was the first and only actor to be asked to play the title role in the 2004 movie ''The Punisher''. Jane initially turned down the role twice, as he did not have much interest in the superhero genre. Jane said that when they asked him the second time to play the Punisher it was Tim Bradstreet's artwork of the Punisher that piqued his interest. After finding out that the character was not a traditional superhero, but more of an anti-hero and a vigilante crime fighter, he accepted. He read as many Punisher comics as he could find and quickly became a fan. Jane trained for 6 or 7 months with Navy SEALs and gained more than twenty pounds of muscle for the part.

In addition to starring in the movie he contributed his voice to ''The Punisher'' and the ''Gun'' video games. He also co-owns RAW, an entertainment company he runs along with Steve Niles and Tim Bradstreet. RAW Studios, the company's comic book division, has released ''Bad Planet'' (written by Jane) through Image Comics. Jane would become a spokesperson for Steve Niles and in became the cover model for comic book character Cal McDonald in 2006, as depicted by their partner Bradstreet.

In addition to his screen work, Jane has appeared several times on stage, and received strong critical reviews as Tom in Tennessee Williams' ''The Glass Menagerie'', and as Chris in Arthur Miller's ''All My Sons''. He has also portrayed a fictionalized version himself in the Fox television show ''Arrested Development'' in which the show's characters have not heard of him, and do not recognize him as the star actor that he is. In 2005, Marvel released ''The Punisher'' video game. The video game's storyline is compiled with different situations and enemies from the Punisher comics, and a character based upon Jigsaw also appeared in the 2005 Punisher video game but with an origin that ties directly into the 2004 Punisher film.

Jane did not return in the planned sequel to ''The Punisher''. Lions Gate Entertainment had approved a direct sequel to be made due to the strong performance the film had on DVD. However, the project lingered in development for over 3 years. Jonathan Hensleigh completed a first draft of the script before pulling out around 2006. John Dahl was in talks to direct the film, but pulled out, saying he did not like the script, and that the studio was not willing to spend enough money on the project. In a statement on May 15, 2007 and in two audio interviews, Thomas Jane said that he pulled out of the project because of creative differences, and the budget of the film being cut.

Jane said in June 2007 that movie director Zack Snyder had expressed interest in casting him for the role of 'The Comedian' for the adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel ''Watchmen'', but he turned down the role because he was too busy.

In 2007, Jane's directing debut was the film ''Dark Country'' in which he also played the main character.

It was reported on February 8, 2008 that Thomas Jane had joined movie director John McTiernan in the action/thriller movie ''Run''. Although Thomas Jane has yet to say that he has signed on to the film and due to McTiernan's civil suit the film has been put on hold. On May 27, 2008 it was reported that Thomas Jane and actor Ving Rhames had joined the cast in the action film ''Give ‘em Hell, Malone'' with writer Mark Hosack and director Russell Mulcahy.

On December 18, 2008, HBO announced it was picking up the dark comedy ''Hung'', and Jane was contracted to star in the show. He plays the character of Ray Drecker, a high school history teacher and baseball coach, who, after attending a self help class while being down on his luck, decides to market the large size of his penis as a path to success. The series was renewed for a second season which airs in the summer of 2010.

It is unknown when, but Thomas Jane will develop a mini series for the Syfy (Sci Fi) Channel called ''Voyage to Savage Planet''. He is also planning on doing a World War II action horror film called ''The Devil's Commandos''.

Jane appeared on the June/July 2010 cover of ''Men's Fitness'' magazine.

Thomas Jane voiced the character Jonah Hex in an animated short as a companion piece on the Special Edition Blu-Ray and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of ''Batman: Under the Red Hood''.

He was set to play the role of a cop in Sylvester Stallone's hitman action pic 'Headshot,' but then he was deemed not "ethnic" enough and let go. In a recent interview with Collider he mentions an upcoming film project called 'The Lycan.' Thomas Jane describes this project as a gothic werewolf romance set in a castle in the 18th century.

Personal life

Jane spent time in his early Hollywood days as a busker. He commented on this in a ''Newsweek'' article published May 31, 2004 (p. 21):

"I had two songs in my repertoire that I hammered to death — "Hey Joe" and "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"," he recalled. "People used to pelt me with change just to shut me up."

Jane is divorced from actress Aysha Hauer, the daughter of actor Rutger Hauer. He and Aysha starred in a number of movies together, including a short, "Picture This" by director Sean Ramsay, who was a UCLA student at the time. He was engaged to Olivia d'Abo from 1998 to 2001.

After meeting through mutual friends in 2001, Jane and actress Patricia Arquette became engaged in 2002. Their daughter Harlow Olivia Calliope was born on February 20, 2003. Jane and Arquette subsequently married on June 25, 2006 at the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo in Venice, Italy.

On March 17, 2008, Thomas Jane was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol for driving at ''"an extremely high rate of speed"'' on I-5. Jane was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level higher than .08% in Kern County, California. Jane failed several field sobriety tests, including a breathalyzer. Police also said he was driving with a suspended license.

In January 2009, Arquette filed for divorce from Jane on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, but the couple soon reconciled and Arquette requested to abandon the divorce petition on July 9, 2009. However, on August 13, 2010, Jane's representative announced that Jane and Arquette had decided to proceed with a divorce. The divorce was finalized on July 1, 2011. The pair were granted joint custody of their child.

birthname	William James Remar
birth date	December 31, 1953
birth place	Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
occupation	Actor
yearsactive	1978–present }}

James Remar (born December 31, 1953) is an American actor and voice artist. He has appeared in movies, video games, and TV shows. He is perhaps best known as Richard, the on-off tycoon boyfriend of Kim Cattrall's character in ''Sex and the City'', as Ajax in ''The Warriors'', as the homicidal maniac Albert Ganz in the 1982 comedy/thriller ''48 Hrs.'', Dutch Shultz in ''The Cotton Club'', Lord Raiden in ''Mortal Kombat: Annihilation'' and more recently as Harry Morgan in ''Dexter''.

Life and career

Remar was born William James Remar in Boston, Massachusetts. He has spent the majority of his film career playing villains. He is known for his roles as the aggressively sexual and violent character Ajax in the 1979 cult film ''The Warriors'' and as the murdering sociopath Albert Ganz in the 1982 hit ''48 Hrs.'' (both movies were directed by Walter Hill). Remar played real-life '30s-era gangster Dutch Schultz in the 1984 film ''The Cotton Club''. He starred in the 1980 film ''Windwalker'' as the young Windwalker. He also portrayed a gay man in the 1980 film ''Cruising''. In 1996, he played Quill, one of the main villains in ''The Phantom''.

Remar was cast as Corporal Hicks in the 1986 science-fiction/horror film ''Aliens'' (co-produced by Walter Hill), but was replaced by Michael Biehn shortly after filming began due to "creative differences" with director James Cameron. (At least one piece of footage featuring Remar made it into the final version of the film, when the Marines enter the processing station and the camera tilts down from the Alien nest, though Remar is not seen in close-up.) He is also filmed from the back as the Marines first enter the compound on LV-426 and when "Hicks" approaches the cocooned woman, again filmed from the rear so you are unable to tell it's Remar and NOT Michael Biehn.

Other films include ''Drugstore Cowboy'', ''Fear X'', ''Boys on the Side'', ''Hellraiser: Inferno'', ''The Quest'', ''Wedlock'', ''Tales from the Darkside: The Movie'', ''Rites of Passage'', ''Blade: Trinity'', ''2 Fast 2 Furious'', ''The Girl Next Door'' and in 1998 he played the patrolman in ''Psycho''. He was also the star of the 1986 film ''Quiet Cool''. He portrayed the character of Raiden in ''Mortal Kombat: Annihilation'', the sequel to the 1995 movie adaptation of ''Mortal Kombat'', taking over the role from Christopher Lambert. He then followed this with a role in the 1996 direct-to-video science fiction movie ''Robo Warriors''.

Remar's other appearances include the TV series ''Miami Vice'', ''Hill Street Blues'', ''Sex and the City'', ''Tales from the Crypt'', ''Jericho'', ''Third Watch'', ''Justice League Unlimited'' and ''Battlestar Galactica'', as well as appearing as a possessed mental patient in the ''X-Files'' ninth season episode "Daemonicus". He was in the miniseries ''The Grid'' (2004) as Hudson "Hud", the love interest of Julianna Margulies' character. He starred as Tiny Bellows on the short-lived television series, ''The Huntress''. He had a recurring guest role in the television series ''Jericho'' on CBS.

Since 2006, Remar has co-starred in ''Dexter'' on Showtime. Remar was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Dexter Morgan's adoptive father, Harry Morgan. He also had a role in the 2009 horror movie ''The Unborn'' (this film also had actor C.S. Lee, who portrays Vince Masuka in ''Dexter''). In 2008 he played a brief role as General Bratt in the prologue of Pineapple Express. In 2010, he did a guest role as Giuseppe Salvatore in ''The Vampire Diaries''. In 2009-2010, Remar portrayed a recurring character on ''FlashForward''. He played James Irskan, a general for Jericho, a black-ops military contractor. Remar did a very memorable cameo scene in the famous late 70s Western "The Long Riders" when he faced David Carradine's character in a bar fight over a woman that Remar's character was married to.

He also voiced Vilgax in Ben 10: Alien Force. He guest starred in ''Private Practice'' in 2010, playing a physician named Gibby who works with Doctors Without Borders. He voiced Cpt. Jason Narville in ''Killzone 3''. Remar was featured in the 2011 film ''X-Men: First Class'' and voiced the Autobot Sideswipe in the 2011 film ''Transformers: Dark of the Moon'' replacing André Sogliuzzo. He has also been cast in the 2012 heist film ''Setup'' and in ''Transformers: Prime''.
