Academy President Robert Holguin and Saturn producers Bradley and Kevin Marcus comment, “This award symbolizes and celebrates not only a performer’s talent, but their character; someone who's a true goodwill ambassador in the industry. From Science Fiction (“The Matrix Trilogy”), Fantasy (“Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure”/”Constantine”) & Horror (Francis Ford Coppola's “Dracula”/”The Devil's Advocate”), Keanu has done it all -- not to mention ”Speed” and ”Point Break.” Keanu is not just a Hollywood icon but also a shining example of humility and gratitude. Throughout his incredible career, he has never forgotten the support of his fans and the filmmakers who’ve supported him all these years. We're thrilled to celebrate Lance's memory with a dear friend and a genre icon.”
