This year, a few Avonlea alumni are among this year’s Gemini nominees!
David Fox is up for Best Actor in a Dramatic Program or Miniseries for Across the River to Motor City; Megan Follows is up for Best Actress in a Dramatic Program or Miniseries for Booky and the Secret Santa (she will be up against her co-star Rachel Marcus in this category); and RH Thomson is a nominee for Best Supporting Actor in a Dramatic Program or Miniseries for The Englishman’s Boy.
Motor City received a total of 12 nominations — more than any other TV movie or miniseries this year. The Englishman’s Boy is up for seven trophies. Booky and the Secret Santa is nominated for four awards.
Select awards will be handed out in untelevised ceremonies between October 21 and 23 in Toronto. The Broadcast Gala, also in Toronto, will be televised on November 28 at 9 pm ET on E! Canada and Showcase.
