The best in Canadian film. Genie nominees announced.
One of the hang ups about loving international cinema with such fervor is that you may overlook your own home grown talent and what they can do with a camera and a couple rolls of film. And while it's easy to dismiss this to the reality that the only time we ever hear about Canadians in the film industry is when they make it big in America you feel somewhat obliged, even responsible, to make a little fuss when something happens in the industry.
Today, the nominees for Canada's 'Academy Awards', The Genies, were announced.
NOTE: that this may be the only time that you will EVER see a Resident Evil movie get nominated for a major film award. Twice. I kid you not.
The 25th Annual Genies awards cermony will happen on March 21st.
via Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television.
