Pair of twin girls were standing on a cold windy night. One girl decisively slits her own throat but the other ends up getting the worse of it. Keith Richards mentions to the audience on receiving the Rock Immortal award that “I liked the living legend…but immortal is even better.” And William Shattner made a surprise appearance but only to pose a question “This [Star Trek] was big…imagine how big it could have been with me in it?…”
Moments like this were endless at last night’s Spike TV’s Scream Awards 2009 as celebrities from all walks of entertainment came together to celebrate the best in horror, science fiction, and fantasy at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Many celebs were in attendance ranging from Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Quentin Tarantino, Megan Fox, Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, Kate Bosworth, Harrison Ford among others.
The crowds gave a rising ovation when Johnny Depp presented the ‘Rock Immortal’ award to Keith Richards, guitarist of Rolling Stones. Richards himself looked a bit surprised by the award but gave plenty of thanks to the audience for the award.
On receiving the ‘Best Sci-Fi Actress’ award, Megan Fox made a sincere complement to the crowd as well mention that despite her comments on her previous movies that at least this [Transformers] made her start in her career.
Amongst all the highlights of the show, the biggest surprise was William Shattner. When the latest movie ‘Star Trek’ was awarded the ‘Ultimate Screen’ award, Shattner came up and happily accepted the award even though not being in it. In his acceptance, Shattner playfully mentions to director J.J. Abrams if there’s any hopes of an appearance in the next movie.
