Canada's SPACE: The Imagination Station reprises the Annual SPACEY Awards for a fourth year of giving homage to some of the best in sci-fi and fantasy entertainment.

"In a sea of television awards shows, the SPACEYS avoids the podiums and boring award dinners, and takes the show around the globe to find the winners wherever they happen to be," explains Paul Gratton, CHUM's vice-president of entertainment specialty channels.

William Shatner accepted a "Lifetime Achievement" gong during the 1st annual awards. Jolene Blalock has earned three SPACEYS: in 2003 as "Favourite TV Hottie," in 2004 as "Fave TV Character, Female" and again in 2005 as "Favourite Female TV Character." Star Trek: Enterprise beamed up "Favourite TV Series," last year, with Scott Bakula accepting the award on behalf of the cast and crew (story with video).

This year, two Trek-alumni productions are up for SPACEYS: Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica, and The 4400 from Ira Steven Behr and René Echevarria.

Genre fans may vote in seven Viewers Choice categories: Favourite Movie, Favourite TV Show, Favourite TV Ensemble Cast, Favourite New TV Character, Favourite Video Game, Favourite Action Sequence, and Favourite FX.

The nominees for Favourite TV Show are Battlestar Gallactica, Doctor Who, Lost, Stargate SG-1, and Supernatural.

Favourite TV Ensemble Cast nominees: Battlestar Galactica, The 4400, Lost, Smallville, and Stargate SG-1.

Favourite New TV Character nominees: Ana-Lucia Cortez (Lost), Professor Milton Fine/Brainiac (Smallville), Lt.-Col. Mitchell (Stargate SG-1), Rose Tyler (Dr. Who), and Vala Mal Doran (Stargate SG-1).

Favourite Movie nominees: Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Chronicles of Narnia, Corpse Bride, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, King Kong, Howl's Moving Castle, Land of the Dead, Serenity, Sin City, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Favourite Action Sequence nominees: Batman Begins (Batmobile chase), The Island (Freeway chase), King Kong (T-Rex vs King Kong), Star Wars Ep III: Revenge of the Sith (Anakin/Kenobi saber fight), and War of the Worlds (Initial attack).

Favourite FX nominees: Chronicles of Narnia, King Kong, Sin City, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and War of the Worlds.

Favourite Video Game nominees: Battlefield 2 (EA), Call of Duty 2 (Activision), God of War (Sony), King Kong (Ubisoft), and Resident Evil 4 (CapCom).

The SPACEY Viewers Choice site remains open until May 8th to accept your votes.

SPACEY staffers will award SPACE Choice trophies for Best Non-Human Performer, Best Movie Villain, Best Movie Hero, Best Horror Movie, Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie, Best Comic Adaptation Movie, and Best Animated Movie. Lifetime Achievement and Special award winners will be announced at a later date.

The 2006 SPACEY Awards broadcast premieres on the SPACE channel, Saturday, May 27 at 9:30pm ET, with encore presentations on Saturday, May 27 at 12:30am; Sunday, May 28 at 3:30pm; and Tuesday, May 30 at 10pm.
