Analysing the Geminis

From Jaime Weinman of Macleans:

  • Gemini Is Truly Outrageous, Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous
    “This may not be a golden age for Canadian programming, but we do have enough worthwhile stuff that we can actually have arguments about which shows deserved to be nominated. For example, Murdoch Mysteries got a nomination for writing, but not for best drama. Flashpoint got the most nominations, though I wouldn’t necessarily translate that to mean it’s the favourite to win; it does demonstrate, though, that the show is kind of a breakthrough in terms of creating a slick, up-to-date, technically-proficient look in a Canadian series.” Read more.
