star trek oscar wins

Every Star Trek Actor Who Has Won an Oscar

Michelle Yeoh's win for EEAAO makes her only the sixth Star Trek alum to take home Oscar gold. Here's a look at her career and that of the other five.

Michelle Yeoh's expected Best Actress Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once checks off a number of interesting lists. According to The Wrap , Yeoh is the fifth Asian actor to claim the award (followed by Ke Huy Quan as the sixth) and one of just three former "Bond girls" to win (four if Judi Dench counts). Yeoh was actually handed the trophy by Halle Berry, who shares the feat. She's also a Star Trek alum, becoming only the sixth actor in the franchise to bring home Oscar gold.

The last category encompasses a number of notable actors, who have appeared at nearly every stage of the vaunted franchise in roles both big and small. A list of each of them appears below, in alphabetical order. It includes their Oscar wins, their appearances on Star Trek , and their careers in general.

F. Murray Abraham Tangled with the TNG Crew in Insurrection

Like many of the names on this list, F. Murray Abraham is a veteran performer with over 125 credits to his name on IMDB. That includes The Name of the Rose, Inside Llewyn Davis and The Grand Budapest Hotel . Star Trek tapped him as Ru'afo, the leader of the evil Son'a in Star Trek: Insurrection, seeking to subjugate a planet whose atmosphere extends the life of its inhabitants. But his Oscar winning turn in 1984's Amadeus remains his unquestioned career highlight: playing diligent hack Antonio Salieri who plots to destroy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Louise Fletcher Was Deep Space Nine's Duplicitous Frenemy

The late Louise Fletcher was part of the tsunami of Oscar gold that came in 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest . As the film's monstrous antagonist, Nurse Ratched, she became the ultimate embodiment of petty authoritarianism. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine found a memorable wrinkle on that persona with Kai Winn Adami: spiritual leader of the planet Bajor who hid religious fanaticism behind the condescending smile of a Sunday school teacher. Her passing in 2022 elicited almost as many callbacks to Winn as they did to Nurse Ratched.

Whoopi Goldberg's Incomparable Guinan Became a Trek Staple

Whoopi Goldberg was already a recurring figure on Star Trek: The Next Generation when she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 1990's Ghost . Guinan, the Enterprise-E's redoubtable bartender and consigliere, appeared in 29 episodes of The Next Generation , as well as both Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: Nemesis. Goldberg reprised the role in Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard , with Ito Aghayere playing a younger version of Guinan in the 21st Century sequences. She's a lifelong fan of the franchise, and frequently cites Nichelle Nichols' iconic performance in The Original Series as a major source of inspiration.

Joel Grey Had a Memorable Cameo on Star Trek: Voyager

Joel Grey's Star Trek turn is probably the most obscure of the group, limited to a single appearance in Star Trek: Voyager Season 2, Episode 12, "Resistance." He plays Caylem, a former resistance fighter on a distant planet who believes his murdered wife and daughter to still be among the living. Though his prolific career features numerous film and TV appearances, Grey is probably best known for his stage work. He originated the Master of Ceremonies in the first production of Cabaret, and did the same with The Wizard of Oz in the original Broadway production version of Wicked! He returned to the Master of Ceremonies for the 1972 film adaptation of Cabaret , which netted him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Christopher Plummer Played Captain Kirk's Final Nemesis

Christopher Plummer's appearance on Star Trek came well before his win as Best Supporting Actor in 2010's Beginners . But he'd already amassed a legendary career spanning decades and marked by the likes of The Sound of Music and The Man Who Would Be King . Star Trek fans know him as General Chang, the one-eyed Klingon warrior who acts as the final sparring partner for the original crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country . He and William Shatner knew each other from their early days on the Montreal stage together, as Shatner recounted in a 2021 Variety article. The Undiscovered Country makes terrific use of their prior association as the two square off against each other. Incidentally, Plummer's daughter Amanda is carrying on the family tradition as the sinister Vadic in Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard .

Michelle Yeoh Is Star Trek's Mirror Universe Queen

Yeoh was born in Malaysia, and made a name for herself as an action star in Hong Kong: appearing in the likes of The Heroic Trio and Police Story 3: Super Cop with Jackie Chan. Her career has included notable films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Memoirs of a Geisha and Danny Boyle's Sunshine, as well as the James Bond epic Tomorrow Never Dies . She also has the distinction of playing two different characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Aleta Ogord in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Ying Nan in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings . She all but steals the show as Philippa Georgiou in Star Trek: Discovery , playing a renegade resident of The Mirror Universe who becomes a reluctant ally of the Disco crew. Rumors abound of her returning as Georgiou for a series centered on Starfleet Intelligence , though nothing has yet been confirmed. Given her Oscar win, her schedule is likely to be very full in the near future regardless.

Emmy Award summary [ ]

The Star Trek television productions proper, have won 38 Emmy Awards out of 182 nominations spanning from 1967 through 2023, augmented with two additional nominations for a 2006 Star Trek referencing television documentary, and a 2018 special award win for the entirety of the (television) franchise. Remarkably, almost a third of the (co-)nominations went to the three most honored Star Trek staffers, Michael Westmore , Dan Curry and Ron B. Moore , sharing 56 nominations between them (24, 19 and 13 respectively), (co-)winning 17 of them (5, 7 and 5 respectively), and which, astonishingly (considering the huge number of people who have worked on the franchise over the decades), accounted until 2022 for no less than nearly half of the total wins. The record for Westmore is even more impressive as he is the only Star Trek staffer to have received nominations in every single year, from 1988 through 2005, during which the Berman-era television franchise was in production, on six occasions even being nominated twice. Coincidentally, the most award winning staffer, Dan Curry, also holds the record with the most single year nominations, four in 1999, though only winning one of them that year. Virtually all of Curry's and Moore's nominations and wins were scored in the visual effects (VFX) award categories, a telltale indication of the leading role Berman-era Star Trek played in the field of television VFX during its eighteen years of production.

Of the seven Star Trek television shows, Star Trek: The Next Generation has been nominated and won the most (18 wins out of 58 nominations), though this was also due in part to the fact that there was little competition in the technical categories when The Next Generation started its run – especially during the first four seasons – before the advent of Babylon 5 in 1993. Star Trek: The Original Series has been the worst performing one as it scored none of its 13 nominations. Star Trek 's single best year at the Emmy's as a television entirety was 1993 when, between the two of them, The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine scored 6 wins out of 12 nominations, whereas 1998 was its worst when Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager scored 0 wins out of 8 nominations between them. On their own, it was Voyager which was by the Academy perceived as the most promising Star Trek series with the most nominations for its debut season, winning two of them in that year, but also went on to experience its worst single year in in 2000, when it did not win any of their 7 nominations for its season 6 , directly followed by Deep Space Nine 's same season which did not succeed to win any of the 6 awards it was nominated for two years earlier, the same year the entire television franchise scored at its worst. The Next Generation has by 2022 remained the most successful iteration of televised Star Trek as it did manage to secure at least 2 wins in each of its seven-year lifespan, also achieving the highest single year score in 1992 with 4 wins out of 9 nominations for its fifth season .

Of the main, primary live-action shows, it is the fourth and last seasons of The Next Generation that are tied in being the most nominated ones, incidentally also tied in actual wins of two out of ten nominations each. Conversely – when discounting Star Trek: Short Treks , Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy for their deviant formats –, the fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery became by far the overall worst scoring season of a Star Trek live-action series when it was not even considered for an Emmy nomination in 2022, a first for televised live-action Star Trek . In its defense however, Discovery was facing fierce competition from numerous other genre shows (which included Seth MacFarlane 's heavily The Next Generation -inspired The Orville science fiction series) when it started its run in 2017, whereas its precursor The Next Generation faced none when it started its in 1987. This also held true for the last two seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise , when it was facing stiff competition from the revamped Battlestar Galactica franchise from former Star Trek writer and producer Ronald D. Moore (not to be confused with the above mentioned multi-Emmy Award winning Star Trek staffer) in particular.

Four episodes are tied for the most nominations, which is four each: TNG : " The Best of Both Worlds, Part II ", " All Good Things... ", DS9 : " Emissary ", and VOY : " Caretaker ". Five episodes are tied for the most wins (two each): TNG : " The Best of Both Worlds, Part II ", " Q Who ", " Time's Arrow, Part II ", " Cost Of Living ", and VOY : " Endgame ".

Star Trek: The Animated Series is the only Star Trek series to have won a "major" Emmy Award. It was twice nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the category "Outstanding Entertainment Children's Series" in 1974 and 1975, winning it in 1975. This was the first major television production award Star Trek did actually win (the very first awards for the Star Trek phenomenon as a whole were the below mentioned 1967 Hugo Award for writing and The NAACP Image Award in the same year ). Both The Original Series and The Next Generation were nominated for the "Outstanding Dramatic Series"/"Outstanding Drama Series" (the name of the award changed), TOS in its first two years and TNG in its last, but neither won. The only other Star Trek series to be nominated for an Emmy Award outside the "technical" and "artistic" categories is Star Trek: Short Treks , which was nominated for "Outstanding Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series" in 2020.

Most of Star Trek 's nominations and wins have been in the technical categories, most predominantly VFX, followed by prosthetics and make-up. To an extent, Star Trek dominated those fields in the Berman-era, as it frequently competed with itself with two episodes concurrently nominated for "Best Visual Effects" and "Makeup"/"Prosthetics" in the same year. It lost its VFX predominance in the Kurtzman -era however, since the franchise was no longer the innovative leader in the field as it once had been in the Roddenberry /Berman-era, but rather a follower; and even though a VFX Emmy was won for the Discovery episode " Su'Kal ", it has to date remained the only VFX nomination the franchise had secured in over six years that Kurtzman-era Star Trek had been in production. In the Makeup and Prosthetics categories on the other hand, the franchise has remained as strong as ever. There were however also nominations in the more non-technical "artistic" major categories such as hairstyling. Other "artistic" categories where Star Trek did chalk up some early nominations and a few wins included writing, acting, producing, directing, music, art direction, title design, as well as main costume design, whereas the more technical categories, besides VFX, included categories such as editing, sound mixing, and sound editing. Among actors, only Leonard Nimoy has ever been nominated for supporting actor in a drama or series and he was nominated three times. But he never won.

It should be noted that, prior to the mid-1980s, the "Visual Effects" category did not exist. In the 1960s, they were part of a rather nondescript category called "Special Classification of Individual Achievements" (for which The Original Series was nominated three years in a row incidentally), whereas they were lumped together in an equally nondescript "Art Direction" category for the 1970s and most of the 1980s. It was due to the lobbying efforts of among others Dan Curry, and more specifically Ronald B. Moore, who was a voting member of the Television Academy prior to his involvement with Star Trek , that VFX was split off into a category onto its own. However, this had a side-effect as more technical categories were added due to the growing technical sophistication of television productions, and as a result the behind-the-scenes technical categories were split off from the more "artistic" main categories. From the split onward the technical awards were awarded the weekend prior to the artistic aka "Prime Time" Emmy Award ceremony as the " Creative Arts Emmys Show (X) " – into which the originally "artistic" non-prosthetics makeup and hairstyling were incorporated at a later point in time. This part of the Emmy Awards ceremonies habitually receives hardly any media coverage, if at all, as opposed to the very much publicized, highly glamorous major, or "real" as Ron B. Moore had coined them, Emmy Awards. ( Flying Starships , pp. 107-115)

Moore has also reported that the later slew of award wins and nominations by the technical Star Trek staffers over the years and almost none whatsoever in any of the "real" Emmy Award categories has caused somewhat of an envious rift between the technical and the more artistic side of Star Trek 's staff and cast, having stated, " There were times when I felt that winning an Emmy really worked against us ". In line with this, Moore has also noted that Captain Jonathan Archer actor Scott Bakula was the only cast member who ever took the trouble of congratulating the VFX staff in person with their later wins, unsurprisingly endearing him to Moore. ( Flying Starships , p. 112)

Not only this, but the Academy itself has exhibited a certain amount of disdain for the Star Trek franchise on at least one occasion, as Moore recalled, when he was co-nominated with Curry in the VFX category for the season three The Next Generation episode " Deja Q " during the 1990 ceremony. Apart from this episode, " Tin Man " was also nominated (with Robert Legato and Gary Hutzel as nominees), together with three non- Star Trek productions. In a bizarre turn of events, all three non- Star Trek productions received the award due to a three-way tie, leaving the two Star Trek productions sole losers. In a further snub, the organization had Next Generation cast members Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis purposely present the awards. Unaware of the set-up, both were horrified when they had to announce the winners, to which a thoroughly chagrined Moore added, " To add insult to injury they sent me a video copy of the award show so I can live it over and over. " ( Flying Starships , pp. 109-110) Nevertheless, all the snubbed Star Trek staffers went on to receive multiple Emmy Award wins. Something similar, though not orchestrated this time around, occurred twenty-eight years later in 2018, when the heavily Star Trek -inspired fourth season episode "USS Callister " of the successful British Channel 4 cautionary tale anthology series Black Mirror picked up six nominations alone out of eight for the entire season, most of them in the major categories, winning no less than four of them, including the most prestigious one in the "Outstanding Television Movie" category, a (children's) counterpart only won by The Animated Series as already related. [20] This turned out to be an embarrassment for the franchise it had drawn its inspiration from, as the first season of Discovery , launched with so much pomp and circumstance, only managed to secure two nominations in minor technical categories that year, despite massive franchise publicity efforts to achieve much more, and neither of which won. [21] [22]

The contrast between the "artistic" and "technical" award nominations had an even more ironic aspect as far as the VFX were concerned. While the executors of the VFX were showered with nominations, none of those who came up with the concepts in the first place, the production illustrators (the title being introduced in the franchise with Star Trek: The Motion Picture , and as part of the art department traditionally thought of as "artistic"), ever were, with the sole exception of Matt Jefferies in 1968.

In 2018, the Academy made amends for its 1990 slight, when it decided to award the live-action franchise with the special " Governors Award ", recognizing "the visionary science-fiction television franchise and its legacy of boldly propelling science, society and culture where no one has gone before". [23] Presented by popular science communicator Bill Nye on 8 September 2018 at the Creative Arts Emmys Awards show – exactly fifty-two years after the very first Star Trek episode was aired on US television – , the ceremony was attended by representatives, both cast and production staffers, from all the live-action television series, but ironically not including a production representative of the winner of the only "major" Emmy Award, The Animated Series . William Shatner and Sonequa Martin-Green , representing the very first and the then most recent incarnation of televised Star Trek , accepted the award on behalf of the franchise, with Shatner giving he acceptance speech. [24]

The year 2022 saw the debut of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards , a new Emmy Awards branch, which was formerly part of the Daytime Emmy Awards. Its inaugural nominee lineup saw the inclusion of the first season of Star Trek: Prodigy in two categories, including one of the most coveted categories, "Outstanding Animated Series", [25] and has thereby essentially followed in the footsteps of its illustrious The Animated Series predecessor when it was included in the inaugural nominee lineup in a corresponding category of the then newly instituted Daytime Emmy Awards back in 1974. But like its predecessor, it failed to secure the win on its first run, though winning the lesser one. The inaugural ceremony incidentally, was hosted by Jack McBrayer , the Badgey voice actor from the other Kurtzman-era animated series, Star Trek: Lower Decks . Additionally, LeVar Burton won the award's first "Lifetime Achievement Award", predominantly for his Reading Rainbow work. He was tributed over video by his Next Generation/Picard co-stars Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg . [26]

Emmy Award totals [ ]

In the table below, "Noms", or nominations, include both wins and losses. For example in TNG's first year, the show received 7 nominations of which it won 3, so it lost 4, therefore, dividing 3 by 7, achieving a score of 43%.

• ↑ 1.0 1.1 No series production due to the COVID-19 pandemic
• ↑ 2.0 2.1 Years endowed with a hyphen for nominations, indicate a year where a series was still in production, but did not qualify for a nomination because it fell outside the award time-frame for that year. A year endowed with a "0" for nominations, indicates an eligible series that was not considered for an award at all.

FantastiCon Awards [ ]

FantastiCon was an annual three-day science fiction and fantasy convention which also celebrated the achievements of production staffers in these genres, complete with award presentations and ceremonies. The event was founded in 1996 by Star Trek guest actor William Campbell as a charity in order to raise funds for the Motion Picture & Television Fund , a charitable organization that offered assistance and care to those in the motion picture industry with limited or no resources, when struck with infirmity and/or in retirement age. All the proceeds went to the Motion Picture & Television Fund. ( Beyond the Clouds , p. 274: Star Trek: The Magazine  Volume 1, Issue 13 , p. 53) The award ceremony typically took place on the first evening of the event at a gala awards dinner and there were two award categories. Several honorary Shooting Star Award s were presented to individuals whose work had been instrumental in the evolution of science-fiction entertainment. The single, most prestigious one was the Gene Roddenberry Award , so christened by Campbell to express the fondness he always had for the Star Trek franchise, even though the convention habitually celebrated other franchises. The fifth, 2000, edition however, FantastiCon V 2K, held from 14 through 16 July in Los Angeles, was Star Trek -themed and was well represented by Star Trek cast and production staffers, old and new. Several staffers were awarded on the occasion. [27] (X)

Unfortunately, upon the failing health and ultimate death of its founder, the convention and associated awards have become defunct.

VES Awards [ ]

The VES Awards have been handed out annually since 2003 by The Visual Effects Society, an organization comprised of visual effects (VFX) professionals, whose objective it is to honor achievements in the field of VFX, advance the art/craft and science of VFX, and promote VFX for its membership and the industry as a whole. As a peer-to-peer honor, it is considered the most prestigious award in the field of VFX, arguably even more so than its VFX category Emmy Award counterpart, which is usually awarded by laymen. Star Trek: Insurrection alumnus Jim Rygiel , himself a four-time nominee and two-time award winner (for non- Star Trek productions), is serving on the society's Board of Directors, [52] whereas Star Trek: Deep Space Nine alumnus and three-time nominee Daniel Kramer is a long-serving voting member. [53]

Honorary awards were over the years received by a multitude of VFX staffers who at one time or another had worked on the Star Star franchise; Stan Lee received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. Ed Catmull received the Georges Méliès Award in 2010 and Douglas Trumbull in 2012, whereas Robert Abel preceded both in 2005. Trumbull also received the Honorary Membership in 2002 and the Lifetime Membership in 2009. Albert Whitlock received the Honorary Membership in 1998, John Dykstra in 2007, and Matthew Yuricich in 2010. John Dykstra also received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Robert Legato received the Award for Creative Excellence in 2021.

The society organizes a yearly media event called "Festival of Visual Effects", held in June, celebrating the achievements of visual effects artists, and where they themselves discuss in detail their work. The 2001 event was entirely dedicated to all incarnations of Star Trek and featured as guests of honor, Howard A. Anderson, Jr. , Matt Jefferies , Robert Justman and Jerry Finnerman representing The Original Series . Berman -era Star Trek was represented by Robert Legato, Dan Curry , Herman F. Zimmerman , Michael Westmore , John Gross , Paul Hill , Ronald B. Moore , Erik Nash , Robert Bonchune and Greg Rainoff . The event was moderated by Worf actor, Michael Dorn . [54] (X) The awards were introduced two years later as an additional feature of the festival, and filled the void left by the similar peer-to-peer International Monitor Awards which went defunct the year before. At the third award ceremony in 2005 (the same where Abel posthumously received his honorary award), Don Shay, publisher and editor-in-chief of the VFX magazine Cinefex (which had run several indepth pieces on the Star Trek films ) was awarded the honorary "Board of Directors Award". [55]

In 2017 a "Hall of Fame" was instituted by the society as an additional means of honoring VFX staffers, deceased or still living, who made pioneering and substantial contributions to the field. Staffers with strong Star Trek ties that were thus inducted included, [56]

• 2017 : Robert Abel, Ed Catmull, Linwood G. Dunn , John Knoll , Grant McCune , Syd Mead , Douglass Trumbull, Joe Viskocil , Albert Whitlock and Matthew Yuricich. Most of these man had already received (sometimes multiple) VES honors previously, as touched upon above.
• 2018 : Gene Roddenberry (specifically for Star Trek )
• 2019 : Stan Lee

Despite all these honors for Star Trek , it is the VFX staff of Industrial Light & Magic , both current and former, that is disproportionately over-represented on all the honor rolls of the society, because of the pioneering role the company has played in the field from the year of its foundation in 1975 to this very day, not in the least for its primary account, rival franchise Star Wars . That franchise's 2021 entry for example, the third season of its very first live-action television series, The Mandalorian , left the single Kurtzman -era Star Trek nomination in the dust with no less than thirteen nominations, though only winning three of them (one of them by former Star Trek alumnus Joe Bauer ) – but it should be noted that the series was heavily competing with itself in several categories where more than one episode of the season were nominated.

13 Star Trek Movies Ranked By Worst To Best Box Office

How emperor palpatine hid his yellow sith eyes from the jedi, what went wrong with ben affleck's roast of tom brady.

• Despite never being nominated for Best Picture, Star Trek movies attract big-name Hollywood actors and have had a few Oscar winners among its cast.
• One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a 1975 movie that won five Academy Awards including Best Picture, featured six actors who would later star in Star Trek movies and shows.
• Louise Fletcher, who won an Oscar for her role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, later played Kai Winn in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, showing that Star Trek offers rich character material for esteemed actors.

One Oscar winning movie featured six actors from across the Star Trek franchise, and also earned one star an Academy Award. Several Star Trek movies have been nominated for Oscars , but none have ever won, or been nominated for, the coveted Best Picture Oscar. Star Trek movies are generally nominated for technical awards like visual effects, makeup, and sound design, never acting. Therefore, any Star Trek actor who wins an Oscar - and there have been a few - wins them in more venerated movies.

Despite potential awards snobbery toward it, Star Trek is such a beloved institution that many big-name Hollywood actors are attracted to the franchise. For example, Academy Award nominee Whoopi Goldberg had to convince her co-stars that she truly wanted to join the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation . However, one Oscar-winning movie from the 1970s has the distinction of featuring six different actors who would go on to play roles in Star Trek movies and shows throughout the 80s and 90s.

Every Star Trek fan can tell you their personal ranking of the 13 Star Trek films, but how did they stack up at the US box office?

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest Features 6 Star Trek Actors

The 1975 Jack Nicholson movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest won five Academy Awards, including the Best Picture Oscar in 1976. It also featured six actors who would go on to play some big roles in the Star Trek franchise. Nurse Ratched was played by Louise Fletcher, who played Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's villainous Bajoran religious leader Kai Winn . One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was also Brad Dourif's first credited movie role, and his heartbreaking performance as Billy Bibbit earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Dourif would later play Star Trek: Voyager 's most interesting character , the Betazoid murderer, Lon Suder.

Other Star Trek actors who starred in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest include Christopher Lloyd as Taber. The Back to the Future star played Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock . Also in the cast of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is Michael Berryman as Ellis, who later played Captain Rixx in the controversial Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Conspiracy." Frederickson actor Vincent Schiavelli later played the holographic arms dealer in TNG 's "Arsenal of Freedom." Rounding out the Star Trek actors in the cast was Peter Brocco as Colonel Matterson, who had previously played the Organian, Claymare in Star Trek: The Original Series .

Although he missed out on an Oscar, Star Trek: Voyager actor Brad Dourif did win a Golden Globe and a BAFTA for his role as Billy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest .

What DS9’s Louise Fletcher Has In Common With Star Trek: Discovery’s Michelle Yeoh

Louise Fletcher won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1976 . Fletcher's chilling performance also earned her a BAFTA and a Golden Globe. While this would be the only time that Louise Fletcher's name would appear in the annual awards ceremonies, she went on to win other accolades, particularly for her performance as Kai Winn in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . In 1997, 1998, and 1999, Fletcher took home the Best Guest Actress in a Syndicated Series trophy at the Online Film and Television Association awards.

Michelle Yeoh is the only other Star Trek actress to win the Best Actress in a Leading Role Oscar. Star Trek: Section 31 's Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar for her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once in 2023 . Michelle Yeoh also won a Golden Globe for her performance in the sci-fi action movie, but unlike Louise Fletcher, wasn't able to secure a BAFTA win in the UK. However, both Michelle Yeoh and Louise Fletcher's career successes prove that Star Trek provides the sort of rich character material that can attract actors of their stature.

Star Trek At The Oscars

Star Trek was represented in a number of ways and by several people during last night's Academy Awards presentation. One of them no doubt brought a tear to the eye of many fans. But let's start with the winners. Mark Mangini earned the statuette for Best Sound Editing for his work (with David White) on Mad Max: Fury Road . He'd been nominated three times before, including for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home . He'd also contributed to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek V: The Final Frontier .

Michelle Yeoh will boldly go back to ‘Star Trek’ after her historic Oscars win

So where does Michelle Yeoh go after making history at the Oscars? Back to space: the final frontier.

The “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star, who became the first Asian performer to win the Oscar for lead actress in March, will return to the world of “Star Trek,” Paramount+ announced Tuesday.

Yeoh will reprise the role of Emperor Philippa Georgiou in the streaming film “Star Trek: Section 31.” She first appeared as Starfleet Captain Philippa Georgiou in Season 1 of “Star Trek: Discovery” and conceived the idea for a spinoff before the series even aired in 2017. (Season 5 will begin streaming next year.)

Michelle Yeoh becomes first Asian performer to win best actress Oscar

Superstar Michelle Yeoh of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” scored an Oscar on her first nomination, becoming the first Asian lead actress to win.

March 12, 2023

“Star Trek: 31” will follow Yeoh’s Philippa as she “joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past,” according to Paramount+ .

“Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of ‘Star Trek’ launched,” Yeoh said in a statement. “To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that’s shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams.”

A “Star Trek” spinoff featuring the “Crazy Rich Asians” star has been in the works since 2018, Deadline reported. Yeoh confirmed its development in in 2019.

Time names Michelle Yeoh its 2022 Icon of the Year. She’s ready for Oscars love too

Michelle Yeoh almost quit acting before launching into iconic roles, with a possible Oscar nomination for her performance in ‘Everything Everything All at Once.’

Dec. 6, 2022

Yeoh will serve as an executive producer on “Station 31,” which will begin production later this year.

The “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” actor departed “Star Trek: Discovery” in December 2020. Yeoh’s final episode showed her character getting a second chance at life in the Mirror Universe, leaving the Discovery crew behind.

“Discovery” is one in a handful of “Star Trek” projects at Paramount+. The streamer also touts “Picard,” starring Patrick Stewart, and the animated series “Lower Decks.”

Yeoh won her first Oscar for her work in the multiverse-hopping “Everything Everywhere All at Once” at the Academy Awards last month. The A24 film swept the awards show , winning sevenprizes including the marquee best picture award.

Michelle Yeoh’s mom celebrates Oscars win from afar: ‘She has made Malaysia proud’

Michelle Yeoh’s tearful mother and family celebrated the actor’s Oscars win from Malaysia. Yeoh became the first Asian to win the lead actress honor.

March 13, 2023

“We need this because there’s so many who have felt unseen, unheard. It’s not just the Asian community,” Yeoh said of her win in the Oscars press room. “We deserve to be heard. We deserve to be seen. We deserve to have equal opportunity so we can have a seat at the table. That’s all we’re asking for. Give us that opportunity. Let us prove we are worthy.”

Last week, Yeoh brought her Oscar, which she named “Mr. O,” home to her mother in Malaysia. She shared photos Wednesday on Instagram showing the golden trophy in her mother’s embrace and in front of her father’s grave.

“Without my parents love and trust and support...I wouldn’t be here today...love so much,” Yeoh captioned the photos.

Star Trek Celebrates Michelle Yeoh's Historic Best Actress Oscar Win

The celebration continues.

Published: 15 Mar 2023 7:36 PM +00:00 Updated: 15 Mar 2023 7:36 PM +00:00

The 2023 Academy Awards witnessed another history being made as veteran actress Michelle Yeoh bagged the Best Actress Award for her multifaceted performance as Evelyn Wang in A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once . For the first time in its 95-year history, the Academy has awarded its best actress in a leading role to an Asian woman and the world rejoices as Yeoh finally gets what she deserves after many years in the acting industry. Aside from her EEAAO family, every franchise that Yeoh took part in pitched in to celebrate the actress, including her work on Star Trek.

One of the noteworthy portrayals of the Malaysian-born actress is her dual role as Captain Phillipa Georgiou and her Mirror Universe counterpart, Emperor Georgiou, for 3 seasons of Star Trek: Discovery. Given that it’s not just a big win for the world but for the Star Trek franchise, with which Yeoh shared her talent. With that, the official Star Trek on Paramount+ account as well as several Star Trek actors took to Twitter to shower Yeoh with congratulations and tributes.

Before winning the Oscar, Yeoh was already a highly sought-after actress given her versatility, and now that she has won, questions arise as to whether she will ever return to Star Trek. When Yeoh departed Star Trek: Discovery in 2020, it was announced that a Section 31 spinoff was in development for her to star in. While Section 31 is reportedly still in the works, Yeoh's schedule may soon grow too busy for Star Trek, if it hasn't already. Fans should keep their fingers crossed for this one. For now, Star Trek takes great satisfaction in the fact that Star Trek: Discovery has produced an alumna who won the Best Actress Oscar.

It took Yeoh 59 years to land her first lead role in a Hollywood film. It is the first career Oscar nod for the beloved icon after she was known for her supporting stints in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Crazy Rich Asians. Yeoh's win is part of Everything, Everywhere's massive Oscar victory, as it won 7 of its 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Ke Huy Quan, Best Supporting Actress for Jamie Lee Curtis, Best Editing, and Best Original Screenplay. EEAAO tells the story of a Chinese first-generation immigrant who owns a laundromat and meets her lesbian daughter and great-love husband in every multiverse, where they will get to understand each other better.

Michelle Yeoh Wins Academy Award For Best Actress, Nichelle Nichols Remembered

| March 12, 2023 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 114 comments so far

Star Trek: Discovery’s Michelle Yeoh has been having a big couple of years since starring in Everything Everywhere All at Once . Going into tonight, she had already picked up numerous critics awards as well as the Spirit Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award, and now she can add an Oscar to that list. The Sunday telecast also included some Star Trek stars presenting as well as others being remembered.

And the Oscar goes to… Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh won Best Actress In A Leading Role at the Academy Awards for her role as Evelyn Wang in the multiverse movie Everything Everywhere All at Once . Her fellow nominees were Cate Blanchett ( Tár ), Ana De Armas ( Blonde ), and Andrea Riseborough ( To Leslie ).

Everything Everywhere All at Once went into the Award show broadcast live on Sunday night with the most nominations, 11 in total. The film was the big winner for the night, picking up 7 awards including Best Picture. Yeoh’s co-stars Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis both won Supporting Actor and Actress Awards, and Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert also won both for directing as well as their original screenplay.

Starting with the inclusive message to “all the little girls and boys who look like me watching tonight, Yeoh called the award a “beacon of hope,” which is also a very Star Trek message. You can watch her speech via an official Academy tweet below…

Michelle Yeoh accepts the Oscar for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' #Oscars #Oscars95 pic.twitter.com/fIDMBH1rEy — The Academy (@TheAcademy) March 13, 2023

Yeoh joins a short list of Oscar winners who have appeared in Star Trek, along with Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Plummer, Joel Grey, Louise Fletcher, and F. Murray Abraham.

Paramount announced development on a “Section 31” series starring Michelle Yeoh in 2019, and last year executives from Paramount along with Alex Kurtzman were still teasing the series. As Yeoh was doing publicity for Everything Everywhere All at Once, she told EW : “I hope, as Alex [Kurtzman] has promised, we are going to do Section 31.” This win for Yeoh could help push the project forward, however, Yeoh’s busy schedule along with new cost constraints at Paramount could impact the project, possibly changing it into a mini-series or Paramount+ exclusive movie.

Paramount did take the time to offer their congratulations to Yeoh on Twitter.

MICHELLE YEOH 🖖 We are so proud of you—congratulations on your well-deserved Oscar win! You are everything to the #StarTrekFamily . pic.twitter.com/9aPhg38w26 — Star Trek on Paramount+ (@StarTrekOnPPlus) March 13, 2023

Star Trek movie stars present

Star Trek movies also had some representation at the Oscars with Zoe Saldana and John Cho both presenting. Zoe appeared with Sigourney Weaver.

And Cho presented with Mindy Kaling.

Nichelle Nichols remembered

The “In Memoriam” segment also honored late Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols. Star Trek guest stars Kirstie Alley ( Star Trek II ) and Louise Fletcher ( Deep Space Nine ) along with model maker Greg Jein were also remembered. You can watch that in full below.

Michelle Yeoh Receives Presidential Medal Of Freedom

Go Yeoh! :)

Tahniah la, Michelle! Congratulations!

Huge Congratulations to Yeoh on her deserved success. I’ve seen EEAAO now four times and it is definitely something special. So great for the industry as a whole for something like this to be recognised by Hollywood’s most prestigious body.

Hopefully this is a sign of the changing attitudes towards sci-fi, and genre stories in general, and of those types of productions being taken more seriously as credible cinema.

This is a really embarrassing night for all the immature, Discovery hating fans (those cats know who they are) who criticized her performance constantly and kept calling her character Space Hitler. I’m calling an epic fail on those fans — this award an international recognition eliminates that entire narrative for all time!

Wholeheartedly disagree. IMO, Georgiou was badly written, and (possibly as a result?) acted like a terrible caricature most of the time. In contrast, Yeoh’s character in EEAAO is terrifically written, and well acted. And there’s no reason why these different thoughts couldn’t simultaneously be true. 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations, Michelle Yeoh! The award is a well deserved honor! And I’m so happy for everyone else involved with the production to have been recognized either individually, or with the Best Picture award, as well! 👏😃

Agreed. Georgiou was a badly, badly written character and just not a great fit at all. That’s not really against Yeoh, just given a poorly thought out role that they didn’t even bother to develop for three seasons until it was time for her to leave. She thankfully got to do much better things since leaving Discovery although I heard the Witcher prequel she did was also considered bad. Never seen it or the main show to know personally.

EEAAO was actually good!

Tiger2, we’ll have to disagree on Georgiou.

I think Kim and Lippoldt did some great writing in seasons two and three to move the character along from the caricature that any MU character would be long term in the Prime Universe.

There were some season one choices (like eating sentient beings in the MU) that went too far, but that seemed to be just one among many ‘determined to be Netflix-like’ writing decisions in Discovery’s first season that I think we just have to let go of.

But generally, I found both the writing of MU Georgiou and the portrayal of the MU characters much better in Discovery than in DS9 for example.

Georgiou is complex, and she’s already been on a two season journey to evolve from assuming her universe’s Terran Empire social norms and values are superior to recognizing they are destructive then trying to change her society and accepting its impossibility.

That’s a pretty huge arc.

If she’s balanced by the a good mix of new and legacy characters in the main cast, a Georgiou helmed spy action Trek show would be a great complement to SNW and whatever 25th century Matalas new show is offered.

And yes, if Yeoh will give them a limited series, they’ll pay whatever to do it.

If it says anything, I don’t remember much about Mirror Georgiou, other than how delightful Yeoh was as a comic book villain.

“…how delightful Yeoh was as a comic book villain.”

But even though I didn’t bother to watch it myself, my sister’s-uncle’s-best friend’s-roommate also says she was bad in The Witcher, therefore it proves the point that she wasn’t good in DSC, right? LMFAO!

I like to think maybe in all the universes Evelyn travels to in the movie she goes to one where both Discovery and MU Georgiou are actually good. 😂🙄

Georgiou is one of the worst characters in Star Trek to me and badly played by Yeoh. If others like the character, that’s cool of course but I thought she was a total embarrassment and probably would get a Razzie award for the role if they handed out bad TV performances.

It made the show halfway more watchable once she was gone.

“I like to think maybe in all the universes Evelyn travels to in the movie she goes to one where both Discovery and MU Georgiou are actually good.”

No, it absolutely doesn’t. The two have nothing to do with each other. Are you sure your this “old dude” you claim to be, because honestly that post sounds like it belongs on TikTok.

I’m hoping your reference TikTok has nothing to do with the major China control and disinformation issues with that platform — given Yeoh is an Asian actress and made her original stardom in Hong Kong cinema — and is hugely popular in China?

No that would be lame. TikTok was in reference to your judgmental attitude towards people who don’t like Discovery. Like you never miss the opportunity to throw a jab. You do that for LDS too. You get pissy whenever people disagree with you. Get over it. So that was it. Also it’s been a while since I’ve been on your case so I figured why not.

Tom Hanks got Razzie awards for Pinocchio and Elvis . That doesn’t mean we don’t think he’s a good actor. Just bad in Pinocchio and Elvis . Same with Ms. Yeoh in Star Trek: Discovery .

Who is also wonderful in Discovery. She was one of the few highlights.

“Who is also wonderful in Discovery. She was one of the few highlights.”

We’ll put.

Yes she was actually. Not her fault the script was written by macaques. She did the best she could with what she was given.

Hanks was great in Elvis. Thanks for unintentionally kind of partially proving my point. And this is reinforced by Hanks pretty much making everything he’s in better than it would be without him.

…well, I don’t think that’s what Thorny was saying at all, and it’s kind of disingenuous of you to imply otherwise, isn’t it? 😉

To reiterate: You steered this discussion into the negative by speaking to the fact that a good number of us fans are feeling that this horrible character’s terrible portrayal was one of the factors that made an already badly constructed show even worse, not better. 🤷‍♂️

What’s your reason, or your need, for trying so hard to call “an epic fail” on those among us that feel that way, or for using phrases like “a really embarrassing night for all the immature, Discovery hating fans”? If you’re attempting to somehow invalidate our opinions, good luck with that! 😂 Why not instead be happy that quite a few of us who couldn’t stand Discovery’s Philippa Georgiou, are actually professing an opposing, quite positive viewpoint about EEAAO’s Evelyn Wang?

CELEBRATE Yeoh’s achievements, but don’t try to USE them to (illogically) prove us wrong! And maybe ask yourself, ultimately, which one of these two is the more “immature” path here? 😜

Says the dude who needs to have emojis in every paragraph to make his point, lol

But, seriously, I think it was a really embarrassing night for some of the DSC haters here, especially the middlle-school-level contingent who have routinely belittled her performance on DSC and who constantly meme call her, “Space Hitler” (which doesn’t even make sense if you understand history). If you don’t think so, fine. But I’m not backing off my opinion on this one iota. No worries if you disagree.

“Dude,” we both know that disagreeing isn’t the issue; it’s the basic nature of a message board. And even others have openly noticed, as of late, that creating discord isn’t something that you’re too unfamiliar with either.

Unfortunately, it was also you who so dramatically tried to assert that her (well deserved, I do admit!) Oscar win “eliminates that entire narrative for all time,” and as much as you lose your sense for logic when you get so worked up, that’s just not how reality works. Even if you don’t like it, ALL opinions in a fandom are valid, and your attempts to distribute embarrassment or shame are what’s problematic. Passing judgment on the use of emojis in order to further support your name-calling doesn’t really help you, either. 🫵😉

Please do yourself a favor; and stop all of this gate-keeping! ✋️😊 Maybe you just don’t care to be respectful of differing opinions (the irony with Trek fans!), but if historical terminology is as important to you as you proclaim, you might at least want to attempt to “play nice with others” in order to avoid continuously coming across as some sort of opinion nazi. 🤷‍♂️

You’re talking to a 70 year old man who comes off like a angry and hurt teenager because people disagree with him over a fictional character he happens to like and then created a silly fight over it that no one here was having while trying to insult people’s opinions in the process. It’s so odd to see someone so insecure over a TV show and then trying to control people’s thoughts on top of it. This guy seem to have some major issues.

And yeah stop gate keeping. Some people think Space Hitler sucks as a character, that won’t change for anyone just because the actress won an award for a different project and has zero bearing on why people hate Georgiou. If you disagree, fine, no one is trying to change your opinion over it. Stop trying to change theirs. It’s gate keeping and pathetic.

Thank you! 🙏😊

You are talking to somebody there who made me agree to not address him in any post or through any other poster but who is now attacking me through you, and so he violates the agreement – and who also lowers himself to ageism personal attacks (and I’m in my 50s anyway, lol) — that he himself suggested again — and he violates this agreement whenever he feels like it. That highlights his immaturity and shows doesn’t have any self control or integrity.

You and I may disagree on things, but I certainly respect your opinions. Mine differ at times, but IDIC. :-)

If I was trying to do any gatekeeping here then I must be the most piss-poor gatekeeper of all time given all the blow back…lol

Say whatever you want to say, but I’m standing by EVERYTHING I have said in this thread, with no apologies or revisions. So sue me! ;-)

So, you think that those of us who have been vocal about our negative feelings towards this fictional character had “a really embarrassing night” and you’re “calling an epic fail on [us]”, which in essence reads like you’re attempting to be publicly shaming us. But at the same time you claim that you “certainly respect [our] opinions,” while you’re being vague about “trying to do any gate-keeping,” simply because you’re “piss-poor” at it. And yet again, you’re “standing by EVERYTHING [you] have said in this thread, with no apologies and revisions.”

Holy Vulcan brainfart, Batman!!! 😵‍💫💫

Here I was thinking that your logic was temporarily impaired because you were a little worked up before. Looks like it wasn’t just a temporary malfunction after all…

…IDIC, and all that jazz, of course. 🥴 Be safe out there! 🫣

So, you think that those of us…

Yes, I think that — my opinion, and totally subjective. You don’t think that, which is fine, and yes, I certainly respect that.

…and you’re “calling an epic fail on…

Yes, it’s a subjective call I am making on this. You are perfectly fine to reject this call, and yes, I certainly respect that.

I am not quite getting why you seem so defensive regarding my opinions on this — these are my personal opinions, and you disagree. Your continued repeating of these same issues might leave some to believe that perhaps I have made some points here that are not that far off (otherwise, why do you keep going on and on about this)?

But see, claiming to be respectful, and using derogatory language against the people whose opinions you don’t agree with, do NOT go hand in hand; which is why I was questioning your logic. You started this whole discussion, employing the opposite of respect.

But since you, admittedly, still aren’t getting it: I am not defensive regarding YOUR opinions. I am defensive regarding MY (and others’) opinions, because YOU have, preemptively, gone on the attack about them in the first place with said language. Are you genuinely not able to understand that?

And to answer your last question, even though I have to reiterate in part: I have been going on about this in hopes that you might UNDERSTAND that you’ve not only been disrespectful from the start (apparently having felt emboldened to do so by something entirely unrelated — the Academy Award), in my understanding you’ve ALSO violated a few of this message board’s rules. Recently, you have:

• put down, insulted, and picked on other commenters, even preemptively (!) • tried to “gatekeep” other commenters, while admitting being “piss-poor” at it (setting your own definitions like “immature, Discovery hating fans” for true Trek fans critical of aspects that you disagree with, attempting to invalidate opposing opinions, misconstruing other commenters’ intent, even trying to shame other commenters by proclaiming embarrassment, ultimately policing comments that you don’t agree with) • used derogatory language (dispersing jabs like “middlle-school-level contingent,” while elevating yourself, and others that agree with you, as “students of history”) • broken Wheaton’s Law (it’s really OK if we don’t like certain aspects of a show, and if we express those opinions in both subjective and lighthearted ways; but that doesn’t mean that just because you don’t like us voicing our dislike in those specific terms, that YOU should then be a dick about it!)

You just can’t constantly put people down, and then finish your posts pretending to have “respect,” or close with catchphrases like “IDIC” in order to whitewash your insults. So, feel free to check out the general rules under “About > Comments and Moderation” if you’re open to actually SHOWING the respect that you like to CLAIM!

So you really think that name-calling Georgiou “Space Hitler” is an accurate analogy between that character in her context and environment with Adolf Hitler’s context and environment? And do you also really think that’s mature for fans to do this? Perhaps I am not the greatest student of history, but I know enough to know here that name calling Georgiou Space Hitler shows a gross and moronic ignorance of history… and yes that certainly comes across as middle school-level to me — and I’m not the only one who has commented similarly on this on the past when we have to see that crap from the same fans who are always trashing the series.

Also, I have been posting on this site for years, and those of us who are DSC fans have taken our share of insults and derogatory comments — and much worse than “middle school-level” — and you know what, I don’t recall seeing you ever step in and post a critique on any of those posters like you have for me above? Quite the contrary, I’ve seen recent posts from you basically celebrating DSC’s cancellation – saying “Finally!”, “The (BAD) writing was on the wall. (Literally, from the beginning!,” (in response to another’s comment) basically celebrating (“100%” agree) that Michelle Paradise is out of a job, also saying, “ I DO care that it’s ending — to spare us from the abysmal writing,” and also belittling the fan effort that others and I are involved with to try to get a petition to reverse the series cancellation. So do you know what I think of all these comments of yours? I’ll tell you what I think — these are middle school level immature, comments.

The above being said by me, I of course realize that I can come across as a dick sometimes — and I do now see that I overdid it here — and so I apologize for that.

Discovery isn’t my favorite ST show, but I can tell you one thing, Michelle Yeoh’s Georgiou character was my fave on that show. I loved her and the show is missing something special now that she has been written out. Michelle Yeoh is all shades of awesome. I’ve liked her in every single thing I’ve seen her in, starting with Tomorrow Never Dies. I’m glad she got the Oscar. I haven’t seen her latest film yet, but everything I’ve heard about it has been positive and I intend to.

I wonder if this will kill the possibility of that Section 31 show now that Yeoh’s profile has gone up considerably. Initially, before I saw Discovery, I was skeptical about such a show, thinking it was too far afield from ST’s tried and true formul, but after seeing Yeoh and the guy playing Tyler in seasons 1 and 2 of Discovery, maybe it can work. I’d rather she’d never left Discovery though.

Yeoh was fantastic in an underwritten role in SUNSHINE, but didn’t work for me in Bond or Trek, probably owing to the lousy writing in each. This new best picture winning movie is something I tried to watch streaming and couldn’t get into, kept falling asleep (tho my blood sugar was running high, so it might just have been me and not the film.)

I will say if the Bond people know how to catch lightning in a bottle, they should hire Yeoh and Ana D to do a ‘Bondless in Bond universe’ movie together, ASAP, even before they hire a new Bond.

“Yeoh’s Georgiou character was my fave on that show. I loved her and the show is missing something special now that she has been written out.”

Yeah, she elevated the series significantly!

Agreed, Yeoh and her character were fantastic and sorely missed when they departed. The Discovery haters are so…exhausting.

“Yeoh and her character were fantastic and sorely missed when they departed. The Discovery haters are so…exhausting”

100% Agree!

I don’t think moniker “Space Hitler” had anything to do with the quality of Michelle Yeoh’s performance, rather it was her character who was the leader of a racist, despotic empire with whom we were asked to sympathize.

This woman ate her slaves. Adolf is a disgusting character and it’s still mind boggling to me someone thinks she should be the face of a Star Trek show.

Just can’t stand her as a character and one played so badly at that.

What’s even funnier is how ignorant the “Space Hitler” moniker is. Whoever uses that term is kind of showing an admittedly lazy interest in history. Hitler started an evil empire that did horrible things, whereby Giorgiou was just another in line of successive leaders within an evil regime that she was brought up into. She never created the evil.

That’s a huge difference, and it just makes the term Space Hitler inaccurate and silly. It was such a lazy, immature response which shows that the person doesn’t even understand basic history.

If we must have a silly nickname for that character, at least look at a successive Roman leader, say “Space Augustus”. That would be much more applicable and won’t show how ignorant the person is who uses the Space Hitler term

“Space Augustus” would be the obvious choice… Georgiou literally has Augustus in her full name. Georgiou is more like any other cruel Roman emperor or even Genghis Khan than Hitler.

Personally, I love Georgiou (and I’m sure there are many fans who love her too, there’s literally a tea room in Portland named after her) and I think Michelle Yeoh did an amazing job portraying her — a lot of times, the Discovery cast weren’t given very good lines, but she really made it work for the character.

” ‘Space Augustus’ would be the obvious choice… Georgiou literally has Augustus in her full name. Georgiou is more like any other cruel Roman emperor or even Genghis Khan than Hitler.”

Exactly. it’s so refreshing to see that another fan here is student of history. Those using the “Space Hitler” nickname are highlighting their complete ignorance of world history – they are embarrassing themselves over and over and over.

“I love Georgiou (and I’m sure there are many fans who love her too, there’s literally a tea room in Portland named after her) and I think Michelle Yeoh did an amazing job portraying her”

It’s also pretty silly to suggest an Oscar is some sign that an actor is unable to turn in a bad performance or be given terrible material. The woman who presented Yeoh her Oscar immediately went from winning one herself to playing the titular character in 2004’s Catwoman. And Jared Leto went from Best Actor to playing trailer trash Joker in Suicide Squad, then Morbius, then the most embarrassingly stereotypical Italian in House of Gucci (and probably a bunch of terrible roles in between).

I have always resisted the notion that Yeoh turned in a bad performance in Disco. I saw the writing for her as being cheap and ill-suited to her talents, full of sarcastic snarky lines with technobabble that were a bizarre fit for her. Georgiou also didn’t get a meaty character arc until literally her last episodes, which was beyond frustrating. Once she was given a role with some real depth and a belated redemption arc, she ran with it and turned in her best performance since season 1. So frustrating.

But having said all that, I absolutely agree in principle that an Oscar does not absolve an actor of being terrible in another project. Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Nicole Kidman, Jared Leto, Eddie Redmayne, Nicholas Cage, Sandra Bullock, Cuba Gooding Jr, Kim Basinger, Jon Voight, Catherine Zeta-Jones… They’ve all been led astray once or twice.

“Once she  was  given a role with some real depth and a belated redemption arc, she ran with it and turned in her best performance since season 1.”

Summed it up beautifully. Adolf was just a bad character they didn’t seem to know what to do with beyond make cringing jokes but wanted to give her her own show?

She didn’t win the Oscar for this show lol, but something different entirely. You can be good in some things and suck in others. She was good in EEAOO. She sucked in Discovery. Not hard to work out there, especially given how bad Discovery usually sucks on its own.

I’m just happy she was gone after season 3 at least but as said it didn’t make the show better in the end.

Exactly! Again, no one is completely blaming Yeoh alone. I thought she portrayed her badly but that was partly on how she was was written and as been pointed out because they never took any time to really develop her. Many of us thought she was going to get an arc of some kind beyond caring about Micheal. A redemption arc seemed obvious but they constantly ignored her many many war crimes and being responsible for billions of deaths. Cracking jokes and having cringing swagger may have won over some fans but others can’t overlook the disgusting character and everything she represented.

I’m glad she’s gone too. Yes if the S31 show happens before 2035 I will give it a fair shot but no one is begging for this show and character to show up again and probably a big reason why it got delayed in the first place.They should’ve did a better job making the character more likable after three seasons and not wait until literally her final episode to do it in. Too little too late for some people.

I’d go even further: not only was Yeoh good as Georgiou, she was excellent. If fans would step back for just a second, they’d realize they often praise Montalban for almost the exact same performance.

Those haters have always been losers. Congratulations Yeoh.

Yeah since I will go out on a limb and say everyone here are 100% sci fi fans, it is great to see more of it being honored like this. I do have a feeling it won more for being unique on it’s own versus the genre but I’ll take whatever. ;)

I believe the Trekutopia’s point is that, up to know, science fiction movies have not been considered on their own merits. Even when they are unique or tell great stories.

With there having been such a strong unconscious bias against them as a genre, it hasn’t been possible for them to get fair consideration for acting, writing or best picture awards.

My hope is that this kind of recognition will enable more character-driven and cerebral science fiction cinematic features to get made, not just tentpole action flicks that happen to have sci-fi elements.

(Good to have you back Tiger2 BTW. Still curious to know what you thought of Picard S3E4.)

I will disagree slightly that sci-fi has never been judged on its merits. When sci-fi has been truly awe-inspiring cinema, it has been recognized by the masses, if not the Oscars.

But there’s definitely a sentiment among “true artists” that sci-fi needs to be better than great just to get its due. It’s like there’s this additional layer it has to poke through because it’s sci-fi, to be recognized, that a gritty drama doesn’t.

Yeah that was exactly my point, thank you TG47. Wholeheartedly agree with your hope that the success of EEAAO enables more productions like it to go ahead, which may have been seen as too much of a financial risk before.

OK, I agree with that for the most part although I also agree with AlphaPredator and say sci fi movies definitely gets lot of attention and box office by the audience when it’s good. It’s no doubt people love science fiction stories in general. And then you look at some of the bigger directors like Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron, Denis Villenevue, Ridley Scott, etc who became acclaim directors mostly due to their science fiction movies. But yes maybe this will give them more attention at the Oscars themselves and make more intimate stories and not just big action movies.

It’s ironic that’s the entire issue with the Star Trek movies. On TV, the shows can be cerebral and character focused as you said (and we’re getting tons with on Picard this season) but then when they make the movies they turn them into slick and over the top action movies to make money from the masses and probably why most fans aren’t losing sleep we haven’t gotten another one in ages but I digress.

Oh and I thought episode 4 of Picard was fantastic, best of the season so far. There were some minor issues but nothing that really bothered me. I loved all of them minus episode 2 (but still really liked it). I was going to write up my thoughts in the thread but when it was already over 300 posts, it had all been said lol.

But yeah this season of Picard is easily some of the best Trek we gotten in over twenty years. This is what a lot of us was hoping we were getting in season one and just happy to see how many people are loving it so far! I haven’t seen the fanbase this united in literally decades. And I think it really bold well for the 25th century spin off show if the show is still a hit at the end of the season.

So very happy for her, it was a tight race with Blanchett, but EEAAO was the little movie that could!

No idea what this means for Section 31. It adds prestige, she still cherishes her time in the franchise, and Discovery ending may add some more impetus to its development, but her dance card is going to be even more full now. Just like with Georgiou on Disco, I think they’ve squandered the unusually long amount of time they had her on the hook.

I agree Ian.

The S31 show really suffered from rolling changes in Paramount streaming senior leadership, and their strategic push to expand their streamers’ offerings to broader appeal.

I also suspect that after the problems Discovery and Picard had with their early showrunners, the suits were risk averse about having (then) two newbie showrunners Kim and Lippoldt helm this show.

Kim and Lippoldt have taken over at Netflix ‘Sweet Tooth’ in the meantime, so perhaps Yeoh isn’t the only one with scheduling constraints.

This is spot-on. From my perspective, it was a case of Paramount not even knowing what they wanted to do with Trek, then freaking out when they saw Fuller’s wild ideas, panicking, pulling the plug too late on his concept, rejiggering what was already done with a new showrunner, then firing them because of bad behavior… then overhauling when they saw some angry fans online.

Poor leadership and indecisiveness can be worse than bad writing. Behind the scenes it was just a mess, so of course the show was sloppy and all over the place as a result.

I’ll speculate that if Worf and Raffi are being primed at S31, that Georgio is going to surface as the lead. I’ve taken grief on this forum for a while now, that S31, fronted by Ms. Yeoh, is still aimed at the international audience. The Kurtzman haters can come here and rant all they want about Trek’s shortage of straight white men, and the show will do well for the audience it was intended for.

Phil, I’m thinking along the same lines as you are.

This show could wander across time between the 22nd and early 25th centuries, protecting the Federation and the Prime timeline.

I’d add in Shazad Latif as Ash/Tyler. I don’t see his long delayed Captain Nemo project as a constraint.

With Worf and Ash/Tyler there’s lots of reason for support and entanglements with the monastery on Borath and their time crystals across eras.

Also, Siddig sounds as though he’s ready to reprise Bashir, and a Toronto-based production might be more welcome after his post 9/11 experience as an Arab male in NYC.

Georgiou, Worf, Bashir, Raffaela & Ash/Tyler sounds like a strong main cast of characters that would do well in appealing globally while drawing in much of the base.

And, if they want to draw in a younger character, Miral Torres-Paris could be a time scientist engineer as she was in the Voyager finale. (Dalila Bela – of Anne with an E – would be a great Miral.)

And don’t forget Jack Quaid as “new” S31 recruit William Boimler! ☝️😀

I think a S31 show is still a terrible idea but if they had Worf, Bashir, Paris daughter and Boimler on it with MU Georgiou I could get excited about that. 👍

And Garak as a liaison from the Obsidian Order

Ok gang, sounds like we have a concept that will attract all by all but the most intransigent old guard fans!

From our devices to TPTB’s brains – at least we can hope.

Anyone want to do a change.org petition?

I’m ready to support that (as well as the one for a Shaw&Seven Titan show).

I’ll sign that in a heartbeat!

That’s why I’m not dismissive of any idea that Kurtzman has been floating around about potential shows.

Even the Academy idea can turn into something great. If the show is set into an educational institution, doesn’t mean we will be getting bunch of teens partying and worrying about exams.

Harry Potter and Wednesday are both set into an Academy of sorts, and they are doing some cool stuff even for me who is evidently not their target audience.

If you set it in the 25th century you have a big pool of legacy characters who can drop in from time to time as guest teachers (like Future Janeway did in Endgame). Maybe Meaney can be convinced to star in the show as a regular character.

As for Shaw&Seven show, it feels like we are going in that direction, but I’m getting less excited about it. I like the new bridge crew from the 4 episodes we saw, but Shaw and Jack still haven’t won me over. That being said I’d much prefer if it was Riker&Seven show. That dynamic will work much much better than Shaw&Seven.

I disagree about Riker and Seven.

As a character, Seven seems to need someone to have friction against. This was a key element in the dynamic with Janeway, and held interest in Voyager. She doesn’t have that wi to Picard or Riker, and her friction with Raffi in season two fell flat. Having her in a buddy movie dynamic with Shaw has a lot of potential. (I think one of the pro reviewers noted this.)

Shaw’s been a favourite for me from the start, but I was primed by Deacon’s arc in 12 Monkeys. I admit that it took until season three of that show before I liked Deacon though so I understand why you remain to be convinced (even if Shaw started in a much shallower hole of offensiveness).

Jack thought is completely uninteresting to me. The casting is part of the problem, but the entire idea of a unknown son was a negative from the start, and pushing him forward as a dynastic chosen one hero just grates in my aspirational Trek values.

That’s precisely the reason why I think pairing her with Riker would be the best approach.

His laissez faire style, sense of humour, fun vs efficiency and so on can create amazing storytelling opportunities. And his love for music can be the basis for finding a common ground with her. They are completely opposites as characters. She will truly shine that way.

With Shaw I feel that they come from the same school of thought. Order above all. At least that’s what I’m getting from Shaw at the moment. I definitely don’t want to see the main friction point with them to be Shaw’s hatred about the Borg.

As for buddy cop pairing, that’s what was done in S2 between Seven and Raffi and that failed miserably. Granted, you can argue it didn’t work for other reasons, but Seven as a character can shine either as in a mentor-mentee relationship or pairing her with a completely different personality.

With Riker, it will essentially be the Kirk-Spock dynamic.

Not only a Riker/Seven pairing will be great for them, but the opportunity to add Deanna as a counselor who can help Seven with her journey and adding Kestra in the mix, which could be Seven’s new Naomi is I feel an opportunity that shouldn’t be wasted.

I think you’re mistaking Seven of Voyager for the rebellious, independent, used to doing things her own way Seven we have now.

Riker and the current Seven are definitely not opposites.

What I can buy into is Riker as Commodore or Rear Admiral who puts his flag on Titan from time to time.

Those qualities were always in her and still are. Janeway on multiple times had to call her out because of those qualities.

We have to agree to disagree, but I’m just not sure where the “Riker and Seven are definitely not opposites” statement is based on. Sure, they maybe working on same goals, have a mutual friend in Picard. But character wise, I can’t find a more opposite person than Riker in the current roster of PIC.

To get back on topic, I think the Oscar win will solidify the chances that a Yeoh led S31 show is happening. The EW interview was from last month, and she is saying that she wants to do it and hopes that Alex comes through.

No suit will ever say no to the biggest actress at the moment wanting to star in your TV show, especially in a franchise that’s not Marvel or Star Wars, a franchise with the goal of bringing new audience to P+.

Money won’t be a consideration, because the potential upside is much bigger.

My point is, I think the Oscar win won’t change her desire to star in a ST show, it just changed Paramounts considerations. Now they’ll want it even more and may be moved faster than a potential Titan show.

She may well continue to have the desire, but what happens with an Oscar win is that you get inundated with offers, and she might suddenly find half a dozen projects which she loves the idea of even more.

No doubt about it. But if Paramount comes with everything she wants from this show (like was the case with Stewart) than I don’t see her turning it down, especially since her statement was done very recently and she was a frontrunner for the Oscar.

We’ll wait and see. But if I were a betting man, after the Oscar win, I bet a Yeoh led S31 show is definitely happening and not only that, it is moved ahead of the potential Titan show and given bigger resources.

That will probably piss-off NuTrek haters who are turning around now with S3 of PIC, but that will be a clear message from Paramount to them that they are not the only segment of the audience they are interested in and that they won’t allow them to dictate the future of the franchise, a message I definitely endorse.

On Yeoh still wanting and getting her Trek show, I think you and I are parsing the possibilities the same way.

I’m seeing this as increasing the likelihood.

In fact, I am wondering if Paramount was smart enough to already have a deal in place with salary level contingent on which awards she won.

So weird to me how everyone thinks this is the nail in the coffin of the show. I’m with you: I think it increases the likelihood. At worst, it changes nothing.

Just awesome! Congratulations Empiress! I really want to watch this movie.

This is awesome!!! Finally a sf movie gets an Oscar, and this is also way overdue for Asian actors.

Seriously folks, the Academy needs also to give a career achievement Oscar to Jackie Chan soon.

Perjalanan bintang-bintang menyokong anda dan mula-mula mengajar anda cara realiti alternatif. Ketawa. Tetapi yang paling terang daripada semua bintang ialah awak, Yeoh Choo Kheng.

I saw this movie opening weekend nearly a year ago now and I was telling everyone to see it. I saw it twice in theaters and about six times total now. While I think Yeoh was horrible as MU Georgiou on Discovery she is amazing in this. It’s definitely well deserved both the film and her win.

I watched it for the first time a day ago. I been meaning to sooner since it got on Showtime but kept putting it off. But yeah agreed, a fantastic movie and Yeoh did a great job. Unlike Discovery where it’s like watching a cartoon character at times, she’s playing a three dimensional character in this movie and where she can show off her acting chops and it paid off.

All Hail her most Imperial Majesty, Mother of the Fatherland, Overlord of Vulcan, Dominus of Kronos, Regina Andor, All Hail Philippa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centarius!

So very happy for Michelle, even if it does sadly pull the Section 31 show deeper into the gravity well.

The chances of the show happening already seemed very slim even before the win. It may still happen but I’m guessing with Discovery now cancelled and probably a hold of any future Trek projects at the moment until they figure out its overall future going forward on P+, it could be even farther away now.

I’m not holding my breath, only because Paramount is agonizingly stupid at ignoring the low hanging fruit. If they pull their head out of their collective backsides, Matalas is setting up Worf and Raffi as S31, Georgio slides in as a Nick Fury type as the head of S31. It’s an unpopular opinion, but I’m still of the belief that a show fronted by Ms. Yeoh has the international market as its intended audience. We shall see…..

Yeah the Worf and Rafi storyline this season on PIC seems perfect to integrate into a Georgiou/Section 31 show. But it seems about as likely as Kelvin 4 at the moment.

This comment has aged like a fine wine, in that it proves how fans always leap to the wrong conclusions. Paramount looking at budget cuts = fewer star trek projects. Discovery canceled = Trek is dying. Yeoh wins Academy Award = no Section 31.

Within days, we get a Starfleet Academy series, renewal notices on three shows, and a Section 31 movie. Chef’s kiss.

Congrats to Yeoh! She did an amazing job.

I have to say this is well deserved. Michelle Yeoh is an amazing actress!

I think with her win S31 may actually happen now because TPTB will want to capitalize on her award. I have to admit I don’t think it will be a series any longer though, unless it’s a miniseries, but I think it more likely to be a film now that is an exclusive to Paramount+ or Showtime.

I have thought for a while now that if the S31 project does move forward, it would probably be a mini-series.

Her career is on another level now and her price just went up. I doubt we’ll ever see her in the Franchise again.

1923 cost $23 million per episode largely because of the pay rates for Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren along with Timothy Dalton.

Yeoh wouldn’t be the first Oscar winner to decide to do Trek nonetheless. I suspect it really depends what other kind of work she is offered and whether she finds it fun and challenging.

Agreed. The bigger problem is whether she’ll want to make time for it now, she’s about to be FLOODED with big time offers, and she was already very busy and in-demand.

I tend to agree, at least in the near term: she’s going to have a lot of prestige projects to choose from. And although Yeoh’s price has just gone up, fee increases for female Oscar winners are not all that substantial as it turns out. A Colgate University economics master’s degree candidate studied this for their thesis and discovered:

The regression proves that winning an Oscar [for Best Actor] increases a male winner’s salary by 81% holding all other variables constant…Female winners do not experience this same clear boost in their salaries. Depending upon the specification of the model used, women experience significantly lower salary increases…In such cases, winning an Academy Award did not have a statistically significant effect on women’s salaries in the sample.

The data from a few years ago indicated that the average Best Actor Academy Award winner saw a $3.9mm pay bump, while Best Actress winners saw a mere $500k increase.

That all may be true, but I’d like to think she’ll get the same pay as any male superstar. If Harrison Ford is deserving of $1M an episode, so is she, at this point.

Congratulations to the great Michelle Yeoh! I’m watching her classic martial arts films on criterion right now. She’s amazing! Everywhere Everything all at once was a masterpiece. I want her to return to the trek family soon with a new show or miniseries or movie. I didn’t care. I love her.

I just watched The Stunt Woman there for the first time. My goodness, what a bizarre film – I’ve seen HK films veer around a bit with tone, but never as much as this one!

Congrats to Michelle Yeoh and the cast and crew of her crazy multiverse movie. Also, funny to see the Short Round Indie reunion on stage during the best picture presentation, about 40 years after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! My latest thinking is some form of post DS9 Section 31 show with stories featuring Bashir, Raffi, Worf and Yeoh’s Georgiou – although Yeoh’s price is higher than its ever been! And yeah, I agree with those who say her Discovery character was just so badly written and ill-conceived but as we all see with Raffi in Picard S3… it’s amazing what better writing can do for a character!

I agree with much of this DeanH.

I would go further to say that Discovery season 3 went a long way towards setting Mirror Georgiou on a transformative path.

It did the work of showing us that she could learn that the Terran Empire could never be salvaged in the MU. And it left Mirror Georgiou with the knowledge that the Prime Timeline was valuable and the Federation worth protecting and preserving.

I really liked how they handled it, and feel they have a strong launch point from there to rework the character.

My issue was that they left it so late to give her the redemption arc. Even in early season 3 you would have no idea that’s where this vamping and snarky character was headed; the only thing we knew was that she cared about Michael. They rushed her arc through in her last two episodes and did a typical Discovery thing of having unearned moments like the rest of the crew she terrorized hugging and sadly missing her. It’s a wonder that her exit went fairly well, which is a testament to Yeoh as much as writing that finally figured out how to use her.

We know Worf has a handler… Who could it be? Agent “G”?

If she really wants to demonstrate loyalty to Trek as opposed to merely loyalty to Paramount employers, she’ll use her momentary heft to demand s31 teleplays or a screenplay that really delivers on the potential of such a project. In my mind, that means someone not too costly like Terry M or Ira (assuming he isn’t retired), or some super prestigious type like an alum from THE WIRE.

If Ron Moore wasn’t ensconced at Disney, he’d probably have been the ideal choice.

They’ll never afford her for Section 31 now

My thoughts exactly. Her pay rate just shot up. Maybe an unpopular position but I would prefer a section 31 show set in picards timeline with Bashir the head of section 31

But so did her starpower. If she carved out time in her schedule, and demanded $750K per episode (which is what Stewart is getting), or even a million (what they’re paying Harrison Ford), they might do it.

Additionally, her higher profile might bring new attention to Discovery, and get them rethinking the S31 spin-off as a real possibility.

I know this is sarcasm, but there are people who like her as an actor, who liked her character, and want to see more of her in Trek. But I guess your opinion is law, and nobody can have a different one /s

I don’t think being able to afford her is any more of a problem now. Paramount has shown they’ll shell out for big names. They paid Patrick Stewart nearly $1M an episode, and are paying both Ford and Mirren $1M each for 1923.

The real question is if she’ll actually care enough to make time in what will surely be a much busier plate.

>“I hope, as Alex [Kurtzman] has promised, we are going to do Section 31.” This win for Yeoh could help push the project forward, however, Yeoh’s busy schedule along with new cost constraints at Paramount could impact the project, possibly changing it into a mini-series or Paramount+ exclusive movie.

Short Treck’s anyone?

I would LOVE to see a return of Short Treks. I know they were only done to quickly and cheaply put out new content in between seasons, but they are one of the rare instances of a studio capitalizing on the lack of limits of a streaming service.

Shorts, mini-movies, etc. Remember when shows like BSG and LOST were doing webisodes? Bring those back on steaming!

S31 wouldn’t work as a Short Trek. A limited run series, or direct to streaming features, yes, in a heart beat. The Short Treks were basically character studies.

Congratulations! Georgiou was honestly my favorite character on Discovery, I personally thought that it was a great performance that made the character felt consistent despite how inconsistent the writing on Discovery often was — there were many lines on the show that often feel out of place for the characters and there were also lines that simply felt so random sometimes (and I mean that for every character… like Tilly’s “this is the power of math, people!” or Spock’s “I like science”), but for Georgiou, the lines were delivered in a way that feels very much like Georgiou, even though, the dialog itself actually isn’t much better than what any other character got.

Personally, I also do not think that the character doesn’t belong in Star Trek. I think the character is very much an allegory that fits into Trek’s values.

I really hope we get to see more of Georgiou, so bring on Section 31!

I’d say she just became unaffordable to the Star Trek production team.

I really all depends. Trek is paying $750K per episode to Stewart. If they feel it’s valuable to have a hot, Oscar-winning actress who’s already in the franchise return and lead a series, especially if she’s already expressed a desire to do so, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do it, even with the so-called “spending cuts.”

End of the day it will be about financial viability. Spending upwards of $1M an episode for her be worth it if it gets them buzz and attention. They could, for example, film all her scenes in a month or two, and pay her a flat fee, and then use those scenes across a 16-episode run split into two halves of 8.

Star Trek Wins Big At The 2024 Saturn Awards

• Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds were honored at the Saturn Awards, making up for their previous snubs at the Emmys and Golden Globes.
• Star Trek: Picard won four awards, including Best Science Fiction Television Series, while Star Trek: Strange New Worlds only secured one trophy.
• The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation received a special Lifetime Achievement award, presented to them by Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige.

Star Trek swept the board at the 51st Annual Saturn Awards with multiple cast and crew from Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds taking home trophies. After being snubbed at the Emmys and Golden Globes, Picard 's cast and crew were finally honored by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films. In addition, the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast received a special Lifetime Achievement award, presented to them by Marvel Studios President, Kevin Feige.

In the main awards ceremony, Star Trek: Picard was nominated for seven awards in five categories and took home four Saturn Awards on the night. Meanwhile, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2 was nominated for six awards in five categories but only secured one trophy at the 51st Saturn Awards. Star Trek: Lower Decks was also nominated for Best Animated Series or Special, but lost out to Star Wars: The Bad Batch . Read a list of all of the Star Trek franchise's Saturn nominations, followed by a full breakdown of each winner below:

Every Star Trek Actor Who Won An Oscar

Star trek: picard season 3, best science fiction television series winner.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 won the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Television Series. Showrunner Terry Matalas took to the stage to accept the award, alongside various members of the cast and crew of Picard season 3. In his acceptance speech, Terry Matalas said that he accepted the award on behalf of Sir Patrick Stewart, CBS Studios, the cast, crew, and the Picard writers. He also honored those who " inspired the next generation of Star Trek. " Watch Terry Matalas' acceptance speech below:

Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: Picard)

Best actor in a television series winner.

Star Trek: The Next Generation producer Rick Berman once reflected that Patrick Stewart never winning an Emmy was "criminal" . The Star Trek: Picard actor wryly referenced this in his acceptance speech, noting that his win was " a long time coming ". Patrick Stewart's award for Best Actor in a Television Series was richly deserved , and the Shakespearian actor delivered a moving speech that honored his Star Trek: The Next Generation co-stars for making him a better actor. Watch Patrick Stewart's moving acceptance speech below:

Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Picard)

Best supporting actress in a television series winner.

Jeri Ryan took home the Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series at the 51st Saturn Awards for her role as Commander Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picard season 3 . Ryan's win feels like an acknowledgment of Seven of Nine's emotional journey across three seasons of Picard , which has displayed every facet of Jeri Ryan's considerable skills as an actress. Ryan had fierce competition for the role from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' Jess Bush and Celia Rose Gooding, which is a testament to the rich material being written for female characters in modern Trek .

Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: Picard)

Best supporting actor in a television series winner.

Sadly, scheduling conflicts prevented Jonathan Frakes from picking up his award for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series . However, it's great to see Star Trek director Jonathan Frakes being honored for possibly the greatest performance of his career. Frakes' portrayal of a grieving Captain William T. Riker was deeply affecting. Remarkably, Frakes was able to give such an emotionally nuanced performance in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 3, "Seventeen Seconds" while also steering the ship as a director. That alone is proof that Jonathan Frakes' Saturn Awards win was well-deserved.

Jonathan Frakes' Exciting New Directing Gig Could Take Him Away From Star Trek

Paul wesley (star trek: strange new worlds), best guest star in a television series winner.

Paul Wesley beat some stiff competition to win the Best Guest Star in a Television Series award for playing Lt. James T. Kirk in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds . Nick Offerman was nominated for his devastating performance in The Last of Us episode 3, while Amanda Plummer's performance as Star Trek: Picard villain Vadic was also nominated. It's not hard to see why Wesley was honored for his performance as Kirk in SNW , given that he's played two alternate-reality versions of the character as well as the Prime timeline version. Paul Wesley accepted his award from Star Trek: Lower Decks ' Tawny Newsome and you can watch his acceptance speech below:

Star Trek: The Next Generation Cast

Special lifetime achievement award winners.

To top off a great night for the Star Trek franchise at the 51st Saturn Awards, the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. After missing the TNG reunion in Star Trek: Picard season 3, Wesley Crusher actor Wil Wheaton joined Patrick Stewart, Michael Dorn, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, and Gates McFadden to accept the award from Kevin Feige. Worf actor Michael Dorn took to the mic first, to reflect on the " incredible ride " of the past 35 years, paying tribute to the strong bonds between the TNG family. You can watch Michael Dorn accepting the Lifetime Achievement award below:
