In this, I disagree. I don't think, that Vancouver is that different from the rest of the world in which money rules.
An award is a way to honour an actor, and there are not really that much possibilities to show an actor, that he did a good job. It is an acknowledgement, that the performance, in which the actor gave a lot of energy, was great. And to be honest, who doesn't need or want a reassurement from time to time?
Also an award brings the winner in the focus of attention of potential producers or directors. Ah, this actor/actress won that amount of awards, so she or he must be good and so the movies with her can bring more money, because more people will watch it and the ratings will go up.
The award brings the actor a better bargaining tool for the next movie, he or she wants to be in. It is easier to negotiate, when you have success and a name.
Yes, the award-giving ceremony is a great party and a celebration of the local industry, but there are also the communication media present, and they report in articles, tv, fotos of this event and a lot of people all over the world can be informed about who won, who wear what dress, and so on. And every actor wants to be seen, so to bear in remembrance of the important people of this industry.
So don't forgett it is an industry, it makes fun, it brings fun but it is also to make good money.
I know, that to Amanda helping a kid will mean more than something else to dust, but I'm sure deep down she was also disappointed that sanctuary, a TV series she co developed and she worked so hard to realize, was not honord the way it deserved.
xo to all
Karin
We'll agree to disagree on this. I have heard Amanda herself say that Hollywood is very different from Vancouver.
While your points are valid, I think a lot of that is accomplished by the nomination itself, at least here at home. To be perfectly honest, a Leo award will carry some recognition in Canada but I doubt very few outside of Canada have even heard about the Leos.
Originally posted by majorsal View Posti love that amanda gets to have her cake and eat it too (vancouver ), but i SO much want to see her on screen again, that i'd trade in her cake diet for just viewing the cake (LA!).
i'm sure there's places in southern cal that amanda could still act, but still have the little inlet of privacy.
i just want to see her on screen, preferably in another series so we can see her weekly.
as much as i'm sick of cop/detective shows, medical dramas, and lawyer shows, i'd gladly take it if it's all that's available.
but... she could play an ex cop, who quit to be a lawyer, who's now studying medicine. who was also abducted by aliens and is now trying to expose that secret. yes, and ex cop, ex lawyer, med student, who's suffering from post traumatic stress from being abducted, all the while working with the government to try to stop the alien abductions! it'll be a brilliant series!
the series would be called, 'String Theory'. i have no idea why, other than it's sci-fiy and sounds confusing and cool.

They've listed the producers names but no cast - I wonder if that's because they have yet to get a cast or if they're just sitting on it for now.
Thanks to Pengyn, SamJackShipLover and Mala for the sig.

No offence intended, I love to visit the US but could never live there. Whatever AT does I hope it is her choice and not something she feels forced to do just to find work.
I'm pretty sure she's at a place in her life and career where she can pick and choose what projects she wants to work on. She can afford to be picky.

What I mean is....and it ties in with you, yeah, she can take time, do a few fun projects and look for something that she wants to do, not take stuff cause she needs it.
ANd maybe she wants to take a few weeks, chill and work her contacts and see what pops up.
Whatever she does I hope it's what she wants to do.

Of course it also depends on if Amanda wants to do more years of television! It can be grueling.
