First the Oscar nominations, then the BAFTA winners, and now we have the 29th Genie Award nominees.As with the aforementioned awards lists in this ongoing blog, I've hyper-linked those Genie-nominated titles currently, or soon-to-be available, on DVD, so you can find them at local merchants like Bay Street Video, as well as Amazon.ca.
Paul Gross' Passchendaele has received the most press, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as to how many of the films below are on disc - which is a healthy sign that Canadian labels are taking advantage of the product we produce (even though having a snappy title like Young People Fucking sure helps).
(Ahem)

For further info, check out the official Genie website (although the use of separate pop-up windows for the category is a bad design choice, since it means every category requires a click).
I know. Picky, picky, picky, but it's annoying.
