\"This

This is a G-e-m-i-n-i Award. See how bright and shiny it is?<\/p><\/div>\n

Announced early this week are the nominees for the 24th Annual Gemini Awards \u2013 that\u2019s the TV<\/strong> award, as opposed to the Genies (which is FILM<\/strong>), and the Junos (which is MUSIC<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all in the way it\u2019s pronounced to prevent confusion, right?<\/p>\n

The full list of nominees and broadcast date is available at the official Gemni website<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.geminiawards.ca\/gemini24\/main.cfm<\/a>, but I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

The awards ceremony in Calgary, Alberta, will be broadcast on November 17, 2009, on Global TV.<\/p>\n
