Bill Paxton got a great birthday present as he was awarded a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Private Hudson in Aliens on his 32nd birthday, at the annual ceremony held May 17, 1987. Aliens was nominated for 11 Saturn Awards, tied with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Aliens walked away with 8 awards, and Star Trek only one. Which is a shame because I like Star Trek IV. It's one of my favorite Star Trek movies.
Besides Paxton's win, Aliens also won Best Science Fiction Film, Best Director for James Cameron, Best Actress for Sigourney Weaver, Best Supporting Actress for Jenette Goldstein, Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Carrie Henn, Best Writing for James Cameron, and Best Special Effects for Stan Winston, Robert Skotak, and Dennis Skotak.
Michael Biehn was nominated for Best Actor (totally deserved it). Aliens also was nominated for Best Costumes, and Best Make-up.
