Seth MacFarlane to receive Robert Forster Artist's Award at 51st Annual Saturn Awards
Los Angeles, California (Release): The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films will give Seth MacFarlane the Robert Forster Artist’s Award at the upcoming 51st Annual Saturn Awards hosted by Joel McHale, set to take place on February 4, 2024. MacFarlane has garnered five Emmys, four of which make him the tied record-holder for the most voice-over Emmy wins of all time, along with five Grammy nominations and an Academy Award nomination.
Legendary actor and cultural icon, William Shatner, will be presenting MacFarlane with the honor at the Saturn Awards ceremony. Academy President Robert Holguin and Saturn Awards producers Bradley and Kevin Marcus said, “Seth is a multi-talented entertainer who continues to leave an indelible mark on the community as a whole. His unique style and ability to blend humor with social commentary across a multitude of genres have made him a household name. We are truly honored to bestow this very special award to him.”
The Robert Forster Artist’s Award is bestowed upon a trailblazer for their body of work and impact on the entertainment industry. The Award is in honor of the late, dear friend/Saturn Award favorite Robert Forster ('Jackie Brown'), whose talent and legacy amongst his peers was an inspiration to all. The first recipient of the Award was Christopher Lloyd ('Back to the Future') and last year’s recipients were Bob Odenkirk and the cast of 'Better Call Saul'.
This year’s Saturn Awards celebrating the films and television programs within genre entertainment will be live streamed by the premium OTT app and FAST channel from Electric Entertainment, ElectricNOW, the official streaming partner of the Saturn Awards.
