Scream 2008 Recap
Spike TV's third annual Scream Awards took place this past Saturday in Los Angeles and were broadcast on TV on Tuesday.
At the 2008 event, Tim Burton was honored with the Scream Immortal Award, for his "unique interpretation of horror and fantasy."
Burton made a grand appearance to receive his award, complete with appropriate theme music. See a video of his entrance here.
Surprisingly, Winona Ryder, who played key roles in both Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, presented the filmmaker with his award.
Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street was also honored. The film won two awards: Best Horror Movie and Best Actor in a Horror Movie or TV Show, thanks to Johnny Depp's hypnotic performance as the murderous barber.

his speech was well done and had a lot of humour.. however! the video montage was pathetic! it was as if they just got some random tech person to do it.. not a real burton fan :(
he deserved the award though yay! :)
I hope the whole show comes online soon. I'd like to see it.
i loved his entrance! it was wonderful! i think Johnny Depp should have presented the award to him! but i love Winona Ryder!!!
i LUVed his acceptance speech but i thought the entrance was a little goofy =(
I was expecting someone out in the audience to start popping those ballons with a sling shot...
