Nominations for the Genies, the awards which honor Canadian films, were announced today. While some things come as little surprise - multiple acting nominations for Emotional Arithmetic and a wide range of nominations for Passchendaele, including Picture - I'm a little disappointed that My Winnipeg only managed to snag 1 nomination and that Fugitive Pieces didn't get a little more love. The awards will be handed out on April 4th, the full list of nominees is under the cut.

I haven't had the time to see most of these nominated movies. However, I have some reservations about seeing Passchendaele nominated for the Genie Award for best picture. In fact, although it's an average movie, it was nothing more than a movie for entertainment. Moreover, I wouldn't compare Passchendaele to movies like Full Metal Jacket, L'ennemi intime, Saving Private Ryan or even Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War in terms of script quality.
Other than that, I just can't wait to see Fugitive Pieces, Ce qu'il faut pour vivre and My Winnipeg.
