Golden Turkey Awards - Film award presented on segments of SNEAK PREVIEWS, a PBS movie review program featuring movie critics Jeffrey Lyons and Neil Gabler. Spotlighted on the program were cameo reviews by film critic Michael Medved who with the assistance of his film man Moose, introduced his choice for the worst movies of the week with a admonishment for the viewers to save their money. The worst movie of the week was given the dreaded "Golden Turkey Award." When Michael Medved replaced Neil Gabler in the fall of 1985, the "Golden Turkey" segments were dropped. Gene Siskel, film critic for the Chicago Tribune and Roger Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times were the original co-hosts of the series when it began on a TV station WTTW in 1978.
