Although the majority of awards went outside SFB’s genre, there were some notable wins.

Best Movie Visual Effects went to Tenet, while Best Score went to Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross, Jon Batiste for Soul.

Michael K. Williams won Best Supporting Actor for Lovecraft Country, noting in the press room,  “What I mostly hope is that youth, particularly youth from my community who watch this, get a sense of the legacy which we come from. The greatness and all the obstacles that we’ve overcome to be alive today. People fought and died and gave their last just so we could be and live and walk, and have the experience to be and live, and there’s a greatness that comes along with that.

“It’s my hope that people will see how we got to this place of disarray. This didn’t happen overnight, this didn’t happen with one administration. This was brewing for a very long time… Lovecraft Country, in my opinion, gives us a blueprint to how things got so divided to who we are today. Hopefully we can go back and fix some things to make a better future.”
