The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films handed out their 31st Annual Saturn Awards on May 3. As usual, Star Trek came away with a couple of notable nods.

The franchise as a whole was honored with a Special Recognition Award for its 18 year run (the 1987 – 2005 era) on television. And the Original Series, still winning awards nearly 40 years later, landed the Best DVD Retro Television Release.

STARTREK.COM says congratulations to everyone involved!
