The Canadian Screen Awards Nominations were recently announced, these are the new combination awards previously known as the Genies (for Canadian film) and Gemini's (for Canadian TV) awarded by The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television to recognize excellence in film, television and digital media productions.
I was thrilled to see many of the shows we chat about here at Hexed: Sisterhood of the Supernatural were recognized including Haven, Lost Girl, Continuum, Being Human (North American), The Listener, Sanctuary, Camelot, XIII: The Series and Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. And because always point out Star Trek whenever it does (or doesn't!) pop up, I have to also cheer for William Shatner's documentary The Captains in which he chats with actors who portrayed captains in the Star Trek universe.
I'm especially happy to see the nomination for Emily Rose of Haven who is nominated in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role Haven for Audrey Parker's Day Off, I know last year we were very vocal about not seeing her in this category. Ksenia Solo also gets a big cheer for her nomination in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Program or Series for Lost Girl - The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire/Truth and Consequences; last year she was nominated for (and won) a Gemini for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Series in Oh Kappa My Kappa/Sorority/Fae Day. Another happy moments is seeing the new Continuum getting lots of recognition with a whopping 5 nominations. Congratulations to all the nominees!
Below I've listed a selection of the TV nominations for the 2013 Canadian Screen Awards, but only a selection. Basically, if any show we talk about on Hexed was nominated, I've listed it below. I would have loved to share all the noms but it's in PDF format and 44 pages which is too much to translate!
