Is there a Canadian in the audience?

The Oscars are coming up this week and I am sure many people will be watching them. There is some Canadian representation with Barney's Version getting nominated for Best Makeup (although I am sure many critics feel it should have been given a best picture nod) and Denis Villeneuve's Incendies as best Foreign Language Film. However, how many Canadians will watch the Genie's just a week later where we honour Canadian films? Perhaps not as many. It's a shame because the Genie's highlight the talent we have in Canada with Barney's Version leading with 13 nominations. Even "genre pics" like Splice actually get nominated at the Genie's unlike the Oscars that largely snub genre movies. I suggest everyone just tune in for the Genie's and experience a awards night that we can actually relate to. It's not everyday where most if not all the winners are fellow Canucks.
