Canada’s Next Top Model Nominated for a Gemini Award
August 27, 2008 by Erin Balser
The Gemini Awards (essentially, the Canadian Emmys) nominees were announced yesterday and Cycle 2 of Canada’s Next Top Model is nominated for “Best Reality Program or Series.”
The other nominees in this category are:
Dragon’s Den (CBC)
Stuart Coxe, Catherine Annau, Lisa Gabriele, Tracie Tighe
Project Runway Canada (Insight Production Co. Ltd.)
John Brunton, Barbara Bowlby, Andrea Webb
Triple Sensation (Triple Sensation II Productions)
Garth Drabinsky, Sandra Cunningham, Sari Friedland, Alex Ganetakos
The Week the Women Went (Paperny Films Inc.)
Cal Shumiatcher, Sally Aitken, Trevor Hodgson, David Paperny
This is going to be a tough decision. I loved, loved, loved Project Runway Canada. It had Iman! And the designers were fantastic; it definitely had some of the highest quality competitors I’ve seen in a Project Runway spin-off. However, the second cycle of CNTM was a thousand times better than the first.
I only wish we knew the future of CNTM. It’s third cycle has been officially announced as part of A’s new fall line-up, but I haven’t seen anything about casting for it.
The Geminis will be presented on Friday, November 28.
LOL, This is awful, I’m canadian and I have never watched Canada’s next top model or Project runway canada.
haha, that is pretty bad. I love both of them!
I’m in toronto. where in canada are you, matthew?
Erin, you mean the future of CNTM, not ANTM!
I’m in Toronto area, too! Richmond Hill, to be exact! I soooo can not wait for Cycle 3!! Rebecca was my favourite right from the beginning.
Erin, I checked the A Channel’s show lineup and CNTM is not listed at all. I hope they’re not axing it already??
Top Model Addict,
I know! I saw the A channel line up too!
However, there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, so I’m just going to wait and see what happens. It’s likely they just don’t want to air ANTM and CNTM at the same time–that would be overkill.
(also, thanks for pointing out the typo–it’s fixed now
)
Yeah, it wouldn’t be wise to put the 2 together on at the same time. Hopefully it’ll happen soon though!
