Lifetime Achievement Award

It was a shocking blow last night that the award ceremony sadly never recognized the legendary greats of the genre with the likes of John Carpenter, Wes Craven, George Romero, and others who had contribute in the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy genre for decades and they recognized Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez who haven't been around longer (I don't have nothing against Tarantino and Rodriguez, I loved their work) and haven't gone much in the genre. It's like an complete slap in the face.

Since it was the Scream Awards' first year, it should have been better and I guess the voters on SpikeTV.com chose them as Lifetime Achievement, that's sad.

The award show wasn't really an award show. It was an extended commercial for Grindhouse.

As cool as Grindhouse may be, this awards show was lame, and everyone, including Tarantino and Rodriguez, are lame for taking part.

George Romero not getting a lifetime achievment award just was the icing on the rotten cake.

No, no, no, don't tug on that. You never know what it might be attached to.

Yeah, I should be grateful that it was the first awards show awards best comic books, that was an great idea :-)

Not to mention all the winners of the awards just so happened to be there. I mean c'mon Superman won for "Best Superhero" over Batman in a ceremony made for and by gorehounds?

Tarantino was a producer on the show, OF COURSE HE WON THIS AWARD!

Ummm...a couple of points

George A Romero's "Land of the Dead" was nominated in several categories.
Wes Craven was on Spike TV's advisory board that helped select the nominees.
And Tarantino was not a producer, was given a special thanks credit in the end.
