In case you missed it on the front page of
The New York Times, the Canadian Screenwriting Awards finalists are up. (The announcement was in very small type. Small, light grey type.) I see that in the comedy category,
Corner Gas is competing against
Corner Gas and
Corner Gas. Well, I for one voted for
Corner Gas, so there.
Speaking of which, it was really weird watching
Wishmaster 4 for a possible gig last night, and watching Tara Spencer-Nairn with her clothes off, arguing with a demon. I bet she's happy she gets to wear a police uniform on TV these days.
I was sorry to see that Sean Carley didn't get a nom for his excellent
Charlie Jade script. I would say the same thing about Denis McGrath, because his bottle/clip show was really terrific, and he had about two minutes to write it in, but I doubt anybody who hadn't watched the show could have understood the script. Or, well, the episode. I guess that's one advantage of writing a franchise show: easy to read the scripts even if you don't know the show...
