Stargate Largely Ignored in Leo Noms

Last year, the Stargate shows received 18 Leo Award nominations between them. This year, that number has plunged to 1. We heartily congratulate Jim Menard on his well deserved nomination for Best Cinematography in a Dramatic Series, for “Avalon Part 2”. Stargate veterans like Colin Cunningham are also to be congratulated for nominations for their work on other shows.

However, we’re left to wonder why Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis didn’t receive nominations in other categories, some of which, including lead actor and actress, had only two nominees. There were excellent performances by the Canadian casts of both shows, and certainly the production values of Stargate rivals or exceeds those of nominees like Smallville and Young Blades. Perhaps more insight will be provided by the Stargate production offices.

The Leo Awards celebrate excellence in movies and television shows produced in British Columbia. Read the entire list of nominations for dramatic series here.

  1. All I can say is — “this stinks” 🙁

    Don’t get me wrong, congrats to Jim Menard, but something’s just not right that his was the only nomination!
