The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films presents the Saturn Awards each year to honor the best science fiction, fantasy, horror, and other genre fiction on television, streaming, and film. This year is the 46th annual celebration of the Saturn Awards. The eligibility period was extended, running from July 15, 2019, until November 15, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Streaming and VOD entrants were also allowed into the film categories. The awards ceremony is currently in the planning stages for later this year.
