UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. —Heroes and villains from the worlds of horror, fantasy and sci-fi shared the stage at Spike TV's annual Scream Awards.
More television event than traditional awards ceremony, the Scream Awards were presented in an amphitheater built on the Universal Studios backlot just for the occasion.
The Saturday night show was as much about how the awards were presented as who got them, but for starters, the top honorees were Harry Potter, Darth Vader, Nicolas Cage, Pee Wee Herman and Robert Downey Jr .
Fans picked the night's winners and also filled the makeshift theater for the 2 1/2 -hour presentation, which is set to air Tuesday as a two-hour special on Spike TV and VH1.
Potter took the night's top prize. The eight-part film franchise was named the Ultimate Scream, which awards presenter Chloe Grace Moretz described as "the most awesome, most rocking thing that the universe has ever seen."
Vader won the Ultimate Villain award, and "Star Wars" creator George Lucas presented his prize.
Lady Gaga channels Marilyn Monroe at Clinton concert
Lady Gaga enjoyed her "first real Marilyn moment" with former President Bill Clinton .
The envelope-pushing pop superstar was one of several musicians who performed Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl during a concert celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clinton's foundation, which has sought to improve global health, strengthen economies worldwide, promote healthier childhoods and protect the environment.
Emerging from atop an all-white treehouse, Lady Gaga sported a wavy blonde 'do and red lips like Marilyn Monroe , who famously crooned "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Lady Gaga similarly serenaded Clinton and changed several of her lyrics to reference him, including swapping the title of "Bad Romance" for "Bill Romance."
Bono and The Edge of U2 closed the concert with a mostly acoustic set that included such tunes as "Desire," "One" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
Comedian George Lopez said he is creating a new family-orientated sitcom where he will play a father and husband, vowing to return to television less than two months after TBS canceled his late-night show "Lopez Tonight."
Lopez said his now untitled show "will be the opposite" of "George Lopez," the syndicated television sitcom that aired on ABC from 2002 and 2007.
Viewership for his late-night show on TBS declined heavily in its second year. Lopez says the show suffered after he lost his time slot to Conan O'Brien .
