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 :(
