Get set to celebrate the nation’s best in TV, film and online!
ET Canada is bringing you all the action LIVE from the second annual Canadian Screen Awards when Gala 1 kicks off Tuesday, March 4, at 5:30 pm ET at the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto.
Previously known as the separate Genie Awards for film and the Gemini Awards for television, the new awards combine the best of both worlds and now online too!
Gala 1 honours work in television and digital in the Doc, Reality, Lifestyle, News, Sports, and Digital Media categories. While Gala 2, held Wednesday, March 5, will hand out television awards in these categories: Drama, Comedy, Variety, Children’s and Performing Arts.
Finally the Broadcast Gala returns on March 9 at 8 p.m. ET with previous year’s host Martin Short back to helm the show held at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
Among the notable nominations: Jake Gyllenhaal who played double duty playing two versions of the same person in Enemy. Orphan Black’s Tatiana Malsany may have the biggest night of all, with her show picking up a whopping 14 nominations and the star with nods in both the TV and film categories.
Rookie Blue stars Ben Bass, Priscilla Faia, and Matt Gordon made the list, as did Bomb Girls’ Meg Tilly; Vikings’ Katheryn Winnick; Continuum‘s Luvia Petersen; and Haven‘s Claudia Black. And Arisa Cox is a contender for hosting the finale of Big Brother Canada.
Filmmaker David Cronenberg is set to receive the 2014 lifetime achievement award from Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method star Viggo Mortensen.
