In the news: Leo winners

Ken Eisner of the Georgia Straight runs down BC’s Leo winners:

  • Leaders of the pack, including Douglas Coupland, crowned at Leo Awards
    “Among TV productions, the goodies were also evenly distributed, with Robson Arms (supporting) and Whistler (lead) splitting the acting honours; Haig Sutherland and the ubiquitous Gabrielle Miller were named for the former, and Jesse Moss and Amanda Crew cashed in for the latter. Veteran Janet Wright got the best-performer prize for Corner Gas (which, oddly, was in a separate category from Robson Arms). In the dramatic-series awards, the ambitious miniseries Dragon Boys got nods for screenwriting (Ian Weir) and musical score (Tim McCauley), while super-popular Smallville flew off with top series and director trophies (for James Marshall).”

In the news: Canadian spin-offs ’shameful’

From The Gateway (the student newspaper of the University of Alberta):

  • Deal me out, Canada
    “We need to stop trying to keep up with the Jones’ in regards to television. Canadian entertainment industries may not have the capital to produce first-rate shows, but re-branding American atrocities to give “the little guy,” a chance to strike it rich or gain national fame for six months isn’t something we should be proud of.”
