…Sarah Polley!
The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, which is responsible for the Genie Awards, announced today that Sarah Polley would be this year’s recipient of the Claude Jutra Award, which is given out every year at the awards gala to a first-time feature film director, and is named for the late Quebec-based director Claude Jutra.
Away from Her is up for seven Genies, including two nominations for Sarah — Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. She is also up for an Academy Award for her screenplay.
The Genies will be handed out on March 3 in Toronto and will air on both the Canadian versions of E! and IFC.
