From Gayle MacDonald of the Globe and Mail:

• Two generations of 90210 hit the Geminis
  “Bets are on that the Amazing Kreskin (who, amazingly, is actually being paid to predict the winners) will anoint CBC’s sexy historical series The Tudors as the night’s big winner. The series, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, leads all series heading into tomorrow’s ceremony with four Gemini nominations. Murdoch Mysteries, Durham County and The Border each have two.” Read more.

From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

• Gemini Awards celebrate good Canadian television
  “The Geminis celebrate the best in Canadian TV. And while that may sound like a set-up for a Rick Mercer gag — nestled somewhere between a jocular news item about Stephane Dion and a parody of Gerard Kennedy choosing a puppy as a young boy — the truth is that the quality of Canadian TV has rarely been better.” Read more.

From Alex Strachan of Canwest News Service:

• Who wants to be a Gemini winner?
  “While we don’t have a TV crystal ball, we’re willing to make educated guesses. Here are the best bets to take home hardware in key categories at this year’s Gemini Awards.” Read more.

From Sheri Levine of Canwest News Service:

• Priestley true to Canada
  “Jason Priestley is a fan of Canadian television, so it makes perfect sense for him to host this year’s Gemini Awards. The Geminis honour the best in Canadian television; at one time, putting the words best and Canadian television together would have garnered several jokes at the expense of Canada’s TV industry. Today, it’s a different story. The Canadian television landscape has changed dramatically since The Beachcombers and The Littlest Hobo.” Read more.

From Cassandra Szklarski of The Canadian Press:

• Young actors vie for Gemini prize
  “Amid the seasoned star power will be two youngsters vying for the title of best actress: 11-year-old Rachel Marcus and 14-year-old Jordy Benattar. The kids are up against industry veterans Megan Follows, Natasha Henstridge and Erica Durance, but say the formidable competition has done nothing to diminish excitement for their first big Geminis bash.” Read more.
