This year the Television Academy honored the Star Trek franchise with its prestigious Governors Award. On stage to accept were representatives from each of the series: William Shatner and Walter Koenig from Star Trek: The Original Series, LeVar Burton from The Next Generation, Terry Farrell from Deep Space Nine, Jeri Ryan from Voyager, Linda Park from Enterprise and Sonequa Martin-Green from Discovery. Also on stage was Discovery co-creator, and the man heading up the TV franchise, Alex Kurtzman, along with a Kelpien and a (Discovery– style) Klingon.

Presentation of the award was preceded by an extended reel of footage from all the Star Trek series. Bill Nye gave out the actual award, saying of the franchise (via Deadline) “It may have started off as an entertainment series but it changed the world — and I feel that it changed the world for the better.”

William Shatner led the delegation to accept the award after being greeted by a standing ovation. The original Kirk told the crowd “I accept this award on behalf of all the artists who worked to make the show a success.” Joining Shatner and the other stars on stage were dozens of members of crew currently working on Star Trek shows for CBS.
