Stargate Garners Many Leo Nominations

The nominations for the British Canadian Film and Television 2009 Leo Awards were announced today. Among the nominees are many for Stargate, both for acting and production. Only shows and films that are produced in BC, Canada, are eligible. Here are the nominees!

(Note: David Hewlett has now said on his Twitter page that he is not eligible, because he lives in Washington state, not BC. What a pity!)
