Atlantis earns five Gemini nominations

The Wraith super-hive attacks Earth in "Enemy At the Gate."

The final season of Stargate Atlantis has been honored with five Gemini Award nominations, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television announced this week. The Geminis honor English-language television produced in Canada.

Series co-creator Brad Wright picked up a nomination in the Best Writing In A Dramatic Series category, for the moving episode “The Shrine.”

Costume designer Valerie Halverson was nominated for her work in “The Queen,” and Todd Masters has been recognized once again for his outstanding make-up work — this time for the episode “Vegas” — along with his team, Leah Ehman, Holland Miller, Brad Proctor and Kyla Rose Tremblay.

Finally, Mark Savela (interview) and the visual effects team have been nominated twice in the Best Visual Effects category, for the episode “First Contact” and the series finale “Enemy At the Gate.” The “First Contact” team includes Savela, Jason Gross, Paul Hegg, Brandon Hines, Jamie Yukio Kawano, Alex McClymont, Krista McLean, James Rorick and Luke Vallee; the “Enemy At the Gate” team includes Savela, Brenda Campbell, Natalia Diaz, Carina Dielissen Hunt, Shannon Gurney, Paul Hegg, Vivian Jim, Chandra Juhasz, Kodie MacKenzie and Alex McClymont.

In Season Four Atlantis picked up one nomination, for Jewel Staite’s performance in “Missing.”

The 24th annual Gemini Awards gala will be held November 14 in Calgary, Alberta.  Congratulations to the crew and cast!

  • Stargate Atlantis? What is that? Oh yeah that is the show that the producers axed to make room for their precious new baby SGU.

  • 5 nominations... I don't get it. Atlantis should've at least been given the chance to find closure. Us fans deserve it. A third series is cool news, but we series must end before starting another. All the more while the Atlantis movie seems to be on hold.

  • Wake up sheep, award ceromonies are just ass-kissing contests for suits and corporations, just the opinions of a few people who think their opinions matter more than others and see fit to make pointless trophies to give away.

  • Okay people, now hush up and make sure you support the re-make of "V" when it hits abc. Teach Universal/NBC/SyFy a lesson that will hit them in the pocket book. Lord knows Warehouse13 is just Friday the 13th which was much more interesting in tracking down demonic items and returning them to the store. Eureka is for 6th graders, Caprica is an old idea and after seeing the movie I'm hoping it never gets made. Then we have Sanctuary which only shows how desperate we are for Sci-Fi programs that look like you made em on your computer. That leaves SGU, V, Defying Gravity and ModelHouse, the latter I hoping to be cancelled. The only thing on SYFY that has hope is SGU, more Snake Movies and Wrestling. Please Sony, start a new channel for us!

  • no offense to anyone canadian...but really, shouldn't a stargate show win all the...english speaking canadian awards
