Superman Returns Takes Home the Most Hardware and Kevin Spacey Wins A SPACEY Award!!

The winners of The 2007 SPACEY Awards, the only broadcast event in Canada that honours the best in genre entertainment, were announced recently on SPACE. Superman Returns was this year's big winner, grabbing three SPACEY awards for Best Comic Book Adaptation, Best Heroic Performance and Best Villain - the latter award going to Kevin Spacey, who upon receiving his first SPACEY agreed not to sue the channel for using his name if SPACE promised to give him an award every year.
