Announced early this week are the nominees for the 24th Annual Gemini Awards – that’s the TV award, as opposed to the Genies (which is FILM), and the Junos (which is MUSIC).It’s all in the way it's pronounced to prevent confusion, right?
The full list of nominees and broadcast date is available at the official Gemni website
http://www.geminiawards.ca/gemini24/main.cfm, but I’ve listed a few main categories in which at least one nominated production is or will be released on DVD (composer nominees excepted), so the curious can plan accordingly, and/or use the nominations as a push to buy or rent some Cancon.
The awards ceremony in Calgary, Alberta, will be broadcast on November 17, 2009, on Global TV.
