For those who don’t know, we have a new award in Canada this year. Gone are the Genies, Canada’s film award, and gone is the Gemini, our top TV prize. They’ve been mashed together into the all-encompassing, blandly-named Canadian Screen Awards.
The nominees were announced this morning. I went through the list and tried grabbing any that related to animation.
Congrats to all the nominees!
