What sci-fi films should be. District 9 made aliens and not-entirely-subtle racial discrimination issues fun again. It's got enough going on to hold the interests of those seeking only action, but it is also layered enough to appeal to those higher-minded sci-fi types.
Best Screenplay: Where the Wild Things Are
Because it made a 20-sentence book into a feature-length, heart-filled movie, that's why.
Best Actor: Sam Rockwell (Moon)
He was essentially the only actor and he played a number of different versions of himself. The man has some serious acting chops and he made Moon a delight. Or badass, whichever fits better.
Best Production: Star Trek
Here we have a reboot that pays respect to the original series, yet sets of in a new direction for a new generation. Everybody wins, and the special effects were pretty stunning. Stellar (of the star variety, but it works both ways) battles have been sorely missed.
Best Director: J. J. Abrams (Star Trek)
The man can do television and film in equal measures. J. J. Abrams makes space exciting again, as well as Star Trek. So thanks.
