It’s such an amazing thing to get to go to work every day and work on this show.

Best Supporting Actor in a Streaming Presentation

Doug Jones, who plays the Kelpien Starfleet officer Saru, won for Best Supporting Actor in a Streaming Presentation. Jones, a genre mainstay appeared genuinely touched by the award, saying:

“I’m so grateful, thank you. The Saturn Award and the Academy of Science Fiction, Horror, and Fantasy is the one academy voting body that actually gets me. You’re my people and I thank you dearly from the bottom of my heart for that. Other shows are great but this is the one that I’ve always coveted.

Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise; thank you and the entire writers’ room, for giving me such luscious material and a layered character with depth that is unusual for an alien—so I thank you for letting me be Saru.

Also to my makeup team. It takes a village to make a Kelpian. Everyone at Alchemy Labs: Glenn Hetrick and Neville Page, James MacKinnon and the entire team in the season two makeup trailer, I would not be as pretty as I am without you.”
