\"Look!

Look! I'm made of gold *and* I come with a marble base !<\/p><\/div>\n

Announced Monday March 1st are the nominees for the 28th Annual Genie Awards. For those a tad confused about the Genie’s identity, here’s a simple breakdown:<\/p>\n

Oscar = American
\nBAFTA = British
\nGenie = Canadian, like Oscar and BAFTA, but not
\nJuno = Canadian MUSIC, not film
\nGemini = Canadian TV, not film
\nGenie = CANADIAN FILM, not like Oscar \/ American film \/ bald statue \/ heavy paperweight<\/p>\n

All clear?<\/p>\n

Excellent.<\/p>\n

The awards will be handed out in Toronto, April 12th, with Gordon Pinsent hosting the televised ceremonies, although what network and time isn’t clear at the Genie’s official website<\/a>, since the stated airdate (and previous year’s winners) is frozen for the year 2008.<\/p>\n

Ahem.<\/p>\n

A pleasant surprise is how many of the films, both in English and French, are available on DVD and Blu-ray, which has to be a positive signal that, while Canadian films still have to fight for theatrical screen time, there are more options out there for home video (or everyone just smartly planned ahead in their marketing strategies). All of the films are out, and several were released prior to March 1st, which makes it easy for anyone to sample some of the best in Canadian film before the awards ceremonies in April.<\/p>\n

So – Here are the nominees in each category, with titles currently on video hyperlinked to related reviews \/ Amazon.ca links:<\/p>\n
