Keanu Reeves added another impressive award to his collection, taking home the first annual Lance Reddick Legacy Award at the 2024 Saturn Awards.
The 59-year-old actor was announced in January to receive the award, which, ‘symbolizes and celebrates not only a performer’s talent, but their character.’
The actor was close friends with Reddick, starring in the John Wick movies together before Reddick passed away at 60 in March.
Academy president Robert Holguin and Saturn producers Bradley and Kevin Marcus said in a January statement, ‘This award symbolizes and celebrates not only a performer’s talent, but their character; someone who’s a true goodwill ambassador in the industry.’
‘From science fiction (‘The Matrix Trilogy’), fantasy (‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure’/’Constantine’) and horror (Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Dracula’/’The Devil’s Advocate’) Keanu has done it all — not to mention ‘Speed’ and ‘Point Break,’ they added.
