Don’t you all love to see Gates McFadden rocking a red carpet? Cause I do. Enjoy a few videos of her arriving at the Saturn Awards and posing in the press room with fellow cast mates and family (friends).

The Saturn Awards fix something that for far too long hadn’t been settled: they honored with Lifetime Achievement Award the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation and it was LONG OVERDUE.
The cast also accepted the award for Best Sci-Fi TV Series with Star Trek: Picard and individually also Jeri Ryan, Jonathan Frakes and Sir Patrick Stewart won in their categories.
Such an amazing accomplishment for the franchise.
Enjoy few photos of Gates McFadden, and I hope to find more and more to add.

This is going to be a big weekend for Star Trek at the Saturn Awards, with a total of 15 nominations, a franchise record. And the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror has announced the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation will also be honored with an additional special award.

TNG cast awarded with special Saturn

The cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation will receive The Lifetime Achievement Award at the 51st Annual Saturn Awards, being held in Los Angeles this Sunday. For 2024 the Academy is doing something different for the TNG cast with this award. A statement from the Academy to TrekMovie explains:

“The Lifetime Achievement Award is usually presented to an individual for their contributions to genre entertainment. Top luminaries like Stan Lee and Leonard Nimoy, Mr. Spock himself, have received this top honor. It’s not new, but we extended this award to cover the entire cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, due to its continued influence on the face of general television. It was originally doomed to failure since it was following in the footsteps of the original Star Trek, yet it carved its own identity, and its diverse cast was light years ahead of its time!”

Star Trek: The Next Generation launched as a syndicated drama series in 1987, running for seven seasons. TNG was nominated six times by the Saturn Awards for Best Genre Series, winning twice. Stewart also won for Best Actor in 1990. The series was also nominated for 58 Emmys during its run, with 18 wins. The Next Generation helped launch a new era of Star Trek, ushering in two additional TV series in the 1990s (Deep Space Nine and Voyager), along with 4 feature films.

The Saturn Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to the TNG cast by producer and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who is an avowed Star Trek fan. On hand to accept the award will be Sir Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, and Wil Wheaton. While not present, TNG cast members LeVar Burton and Jonathan Frakes are also being bestowed with this honor. Both actors had to send their regrets due to scheduling conflicts.

Queen Marlena, an appropriate role for Gates McFadden, a Queen.
Masters of the Universe: Revolution is currently on Netflix, it’s a 5 episodes season (ca 25min each) and Gates gave her voice to the Queen of Eternia, Marlena Glenn, and I love the fact her character has similar hair to Gates. It’s appropriate.

The Center Seat is the documentary that brings you through 55 years of Star Trek History (or just Trekstory) with Gates McFadden narrating, but she also, you know, was part of one of the biggest shows from Trekstory so she’s interviewed as well.
You can find it on Prime Video to play or Apple TV, for some countries it may even be available in DVD to buy.
