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).

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.
I'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. :)
I am really enjoying universe. But i am missing atlantis it has at least 1 season more in it.
But 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.
especially*
there's* (sorry for misspellings :)
Congratulations Sanctuary and Stargate: Atlantis!!! Well deserved!!!
I 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.
SGU will win the Award on Creativity ^_^ (This was a joke)
Congrats to both shows. Glad Atlantis won some awards for its last season, it was totally worth it!
Congratulations! And these were my two favorite episodes. I sure miss that show!!!
