Stargate Atlantis nabs two Spaceys

Stargate Atlantis and Dr. Rodney McKay were big winners on June 10, when the winners of the fifth annual Spacey Awards were announced. Administered by Canada’s SPACE Channel, the Spaceys are Canada’s only science fiction and fantasy TV awards. The movie awards are voted on by the staff at SPACE, but the TV awards are viewers’ choice.

Stargate Atlantis, with 37 percent of the viewer vote in the Favorite TV Show category, easily defeated its nearest competitor, Battlestar Galactica, which earned 26 percent of the total vote.

In the Favorite TV Character category, Dr. Rodney McKay (played by David Hewlett) from Atlantis garnered a dominating 40 percent of the vote to beat Battlestar Galactica‘s Kara “Starbuck” Thrace (Katee Sackhoff), who earned 24 percent of votes.

Stargate SG-1‘s Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black) made a respectable showing in the TV Characters You Love To Hate category. Vala earned 22 percent of the vote. Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) of Smallville won with 28 percent. Dr. Gaius Baltar (James Callis) of Battlestar Galactica won 26 percent of the vote.

Complete results in other categories, such as Favorite Classic TV Show, can be found at Spaceys.ca. The season finale of Stargate Atlantis airs this Friday, June 22, at 9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on SCI FI Channel in the United States!
