Congratulations to our Gemini Award nominees!

It’s not news that good shows have been cancelled this past year. Performers in This Is Wonderland, The Tournament and Da Vinci’s City Hall, all cancelled by CBC, earned Gemini nominations. More than 70 ACTRA Toronto members have been nominated this year, with three two-time nominees: Helene Joy (Under the Dragon’s Tail, ReGenesis), Mark McKinney (Slings & Arrows, Robson Arms) and Peter Outerbridge (Under the Dragon's Tail, ReGenesis).

Congrats to all our ACTRA Toronto member Gemini Award nominees! The Gemini Awards, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, take place Oct. 16, 17, 18 (Toronto) and Nov. 4 (Vancouver). www.geminiawards.ca
