Repeating their success from 2018, the cast and crew of Star Trek: Discovery went home from the annual Saturn Awards with a number of trophies, honoring the series for 2019’s second season of production — and this year, the ceremony was live-streamed online for the very first time.
The show itself took home the win for Best Streaming Science Fiction, Action, & Fantasy Series, up against competitors from Netflix and Amazon like Black Mirror, The Expanse, Lost in Space, Good Omens, Russian Doll, and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, with co-showrunner Michelle Paradise joining series actor Doug Jones on stage to collect the award.

After a decades-long career in the genre film and television field, Doug Jones took him his first-ever Saturn Award win for his performance as Commander Saru in Discovery Season 2, beating out co-stars Wilson Cruz and Ethan Peck as well as several other competitors for Best Actor in a Streaming Presentation.

Finally, Discovery series lead Sonequa Martin-Green took home her second Saturn Award for her stint as Michael Burnham in the Best Actress in a Streaming Presentation category, besting out some other big names like Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne and Jessica Jones lead Krysten Ritter.
Martin-Green offered her thanks in this video package, where she joined other award winners who were not able to attend the ceremony in person.
