The Golden Satellite awards are given by the International Press Association “to acknowledge this year’s outstanding artists, films, television shows, DVDs, and interactive media.” The awards ceremony will be held at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills on December 17, 2005.

At this year’s ceremony, special effects wizard Stan Winston will be honored with the 2005 Tesla Award in Recognition of Visionary Achievements in the field of filmmaking and the cinema arts. Depp fans have a special place in their hearts for Stan Winston, since he created the look of Edward Scissorhands. He also designed the Jurassic Park dinosaurs, the extraterrestrials in Aliens, and the Terminator. Congratulations to Mr. Winston on this well-deserved honor!
