Slings And Arrows...

maaseru mentioned this to me earlier, but it was great to also see the actual news item, sent to me by a Dunnett fan friend in Toronto, about how Slings and Arrows won at the Gemini Awards. I only watched the first bit of the awards show, and so got to see Paul Gross give an award to Martha Burns.

Wearing jeans and a blazer, and chewing gum throughout his brief acceptance speech, Mr. Gross said, “I would like very much to dedicate this to the man who made me want to act in the first place, and that is my co-star and co-nominee, William Hutt.” The Canadian stage icon died last June.

I was surprised that Little Mosque on the Prairie didn't win a bunch of awards, but it got a unique award all its own:

CBC program Little Mosque on the Prairie was then honoured with the Canada Award for helping spread tolerance and understanding through its series.

"I'd like to thank my broadcaster, CBC, for being brave," said show creator Zarqa Nawaz, who stood along with her producers and several members of the cast.
