LOS ANGELES, Oct 8, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Actress Kate Beckinsale was named this year's "Scream Queen" at the recent Scream Awards ceremony in Hollywood for her role in "Underworld: Evolution."
The 33-year-old British actress garnered one of the ceremony's top individual awards for her part in the vampire action film, while fellow actress Jessica Alba was presented with the event's "Sexiest Superhero" award for her portrayal of the Invisible Woman in "The Fantastic Four," a Spike TV release said.
Among other big winners at the ceremony, which will air on Spike TV Tuesday, were "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Batman Begins," which garnered four and three awards, respectively.
While "Pirates" won the event's "Most Anticipated Movie," award in addition to "Best Sequel" and "Best Fantasy Movie," the newest installment in the Batman film franchise took home awards for "Best Screamplay" and "The Ultimate Scream" and its director, Christopher Nolan, was recognized for his efforts.
