Stargate Universe<\/em> has been nominated in two categories in this year’s Constellation Awards<\/a>, “Canada’s annual science fiction awards focused on rewarding excellence in science fiction film and television. Now in its fourth year, The Constellation Awards celebrate and honour the actors, writers, and technical artists behind the best of today’s science fiction film and TV works – with an added focus on Canadian contributions to science fiction film and television.” The Canadian viewing public gets to select the nominees and winners in all categories.<\/p>\n

The two categories in which SGU has nominations:<\/p>\n
