PopGoesTheNews.com >> Canada will be well represented at this year’s Emmy Awards. Among the nominees announced today are at least six Canadians.
Kiefer Sutherland (24: Redemption), William Shatner (Boston Legal), Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy) and Michael J. Fox (Rescue Me) earned acting nods and Fox is also nominated for a special about his fight with Parkinson’s.
Toronto makeup artist Linda Dowds got two nominations for her work on the HBO movie Grey Gardens, which was filmed entirely in Canada and scored an impressive 17 nominations.
Kingston’s Patricia Rozema earned a nomination for co-writing Grey Gardens, which is also up for Outstanding Made for Television Movie. Both Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore received lead actress nominations and Ken Howard and Jeanne Tripplehorn earned nods for their supporting roles.
The true-life story of two eccentric relatives of Jackie Kennedy who ended up living in a dilapidated mansion on Long Island was filmed in and around Toronto last summer. An estate in the city’s Rouge Park stood in for the Bouvier Beale home, interior scenes were shot at Toronto Film Studios and other scenes were filmed outside Union Station and both inside and outside the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.
Also up for Emmys are The Tudors, a Canadian co-production, and the made-in-Vancouver series Battlestar Galactica, Sanctuary and Smallville. The pilot episode of Fringe, which was shot in Toronto, got a nod for its visual effects.
