The Oscars have been awarded and DVD sales have already gone through the roof. But in the alternate reality known as Hollywood, it's never too late to bestow yet more hardware on the best films.
The Dark Knight had a leading five wins, including one for Best Action-Adventure Thriller, at the 35th Annual Saturn Awards, presented by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
Heath Ledger was again honored posthumously as Best Supporting Actor, and the Batman sequel also took trophies for its score, script and special effects.
The CGI-enhanced Iron Man won three Saturns, as did The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which beat out Twilight as Best Fantasy Film.
Tilda Swinton was the supporting actress of choice for Benjamin Button, while Iron Man's Robert Downey Jr. and Changeling's Angelina Jolie were honored for their leading roles.
On the small-screen side, Battlestar Galactica was top syndicated or cable series and Lost was named Best TV Series overall.
