Joss Whedon and the Avengers scooped up four gongs at the 38th annual Saturn Awards, celebrating the best in science fiction, fantasy and horror. Breaking Bad was the big winner in the TV categories, but was pipped to the award for Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series by The Walking Dead , while Revolution and Teen Wolf won Best Network Television Series and Best Youth-Oriented Series on Television respectively. SFX was also delighted to see Anna Torv recognised for her stunning work on Fringe ’s fifth and final season, though Game Of Thrones was notable by its absence.
