Genie Awards Nominations

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE recipients of Genie Awards Nominations (These are the Canadian Film Awards, the Equivalent of the tv Geminis) The full list of nominations & trailers for all 5 nominated "Best Pictures" can be found here:

But as for the writing awards...

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY / MEILLEUR SCÉNARIO
ATOM EGOYAN – Adoration
ÉMILE GAUDREAULT, IAN LAUZON – De père en flic / Father and Guns
CHARLES OFFICER, INGRID VENINGER – NURSE.FIGHTER.BOY
JACQUES DAVIDTS – Polytechnique
DAVID BEZMOZGIS – Victoria Day

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY / MEILLEURE ADAPTATION
MARIE-HÉLÈNE COUSINEAU, SUSAN AVINGAQ, MADELINE PIUJUQ IVALU – Before Tomorrow
KARI SKOGLAND – Fifty Dead Men Walking
TONY BURGESS – Pontypool

I have to say, just as a bystander (I don't work in film much) I think that the WGC Awards came up with a more interesting list of nominees. Although it's nice to see PONTYPOOL get some love (that screenplay wasn't eligible for a WGC Award b/c Tony Burgess is not a member.)

Anyway, good luck to all the nominees!
