David Hewlett as Rodney McKay in "The Shrine"
Stargate Atlantis picked up two Gemini Awards for its fifth and final season this week. The 24th annual awards celebrate the best in Canadian television.
Writer and series co-creator Brad Wright earned a trophy in the Best Writing in a Dramatic Series category in the awards, for his episode “The Shrine.”
And the make-up team led by Todd Masters picked up another award, in the Best Achivement in Make-Up category for “Vegas.” The team included Masters, Leah Ehman, Holland Miller, Brad Proctor, and Kyla Rose Tremblay.
Atlantis was recognized with five Gemini nominations this year, including additional nominations in costume design and visual effects. The major awards for this year’s Geminis will be awarded at a broadcast gala on November 14.
The VFX award went to Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary, for the first half of the pilot episode “Sanctuary For All.” (Atlantis’s “First Contact” and “Enemy At the Gate” were nominated.) Sanctuary earned six nominations in all for its freshman season, two of which have yet to be announced: Best Actor (Robin Dunne) and Best Actress (Tapping).
Congratulations to the entire crew and cast! Visit GeminiAwards.ca to see the complete list of winners. The fifth season of Stargate Atlantis is now available on DVD

And yet still they cancelled it… :(
If they’d have mixed up the writing a bit, got a bit more original in the stories, then Atlantis had at least 2 more seasons in it. Now I fear we will never see the fair city again.
I so wanna know what happens to the city after its arrival on earth.
Ryster | October 22 @ 4:36 pmI’m happy for Atlantis, but I actually came here to read this because I had a feeling they’d be mentioned. I’m real happy for both shows and I can’t wait to see if Amanda and Robin win for best performances. :)
Rocky89 | October 22 @ 4:40 pmI am really enjoying universe. But i am missing atlantis it has at least 1 season more in it.
promethius30 | October 22 @ 4:56 pmBut 5 years is a lot :)
I’m so happy for SGA and Sanctuary, I love both shows, specially Sanctuary now that htere’s no more SGA :(
Please please shoot the movies! I am really trying but I can’t get into SGU like I could with SGA-1 and SGA.

Gaia | October 22 @ 5:37 pmCongratulations Sanctuary and Stargate: Atlantis!!! Well deserved!!!
Alan | October 22 @ 5:46 pmI know that I have been defending SGU in comments but I still wouldn’t of minded having to wait another year to see it.
Atlantis did have at least 1 year left in it.
I do indeed hope that they will work on Atlantis & SG-1 films.
Tanith | October 22 @ 5:57 pmSGU will win the Award on Creativity ^_^ (This was a joke)
Outbreaker | October 23 @ 2:43 amCongrats to both shows. Glad Atlantis won some awards for its last season, it was totally worth it!
canonfodder | October 23 @ 2:49 amCongratulations! And these were my two favorite episodes. I sure miss that show!!!
Sylvia | October 23 @ 5:37 amGreat to see Atlantis is still kicking after its end, maybe that will push for a movie or related news sooner? I can only hope.
Replicator Todd | October 24 @ 10:12 pmPeople may not have realized it, but one of the outstanding qualities of Stargate, that contributed to its longevity, was the on screen decency of behavior of all its main characters. The character of Sam was particularly endearing. No parent was ever embarassed to watch the show along with the children.
ja627 | November 8 @ 1:44 pmThe very first episode of Stargate Universe had a long heavy breathing and noisy sexual encounter which was totally gratuitous and completely unnecessary. It has branded the show to be for audiences other than those of Stargate. Add to that characters, which cannot stop demonstrating quirky behavior in every episode – I predict a very short life for it.
