2012 Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) Awards – nominees
The Directors Guild of Canada has announced the nominations for the 11th Annual DGC Awards. The finalists in 19 categories were selected from close to 180 submissions.
Leading the feature film nominees with five nods was David Cronenberg's period drama A Dangerous Method. It was nominated for Best Direction, Feature Film, Production Design, Picture Editing and Sound Editing.
Sarah Polley's sophomore film Take This Waltz came next with four mentions including Best Direction. The other nominees for Best Direction were Michael Dowse for Goon , and David Weaver for The Samaritan. Only The Samaritan was also nominated for Best Feature Film, however, as Nathan Morlando's Edwin Boyd and Donald Shebib's Down the Road Again edged out Take This Waltz and Goon.
The television nominations were led by The Kennedys which picked up six nods in total.
The Awards Gala will take place on Saturday, October 20 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Comedian, actor and musician Séan Cullen will host the event. The 2012 edition of the DGC Awards marks the 50th anniversary of the DGC.
