WOOOO HOOOOO! That's amazing news, Leo and Constellation awards nominations for Continuum, Sanctuary and Amanda . It's been a days since I heard the news, but I still feel like celebrating . I am SO proud and happy for everyone in both Continuum and Sanctuary they all deserve those noms . I hope Sanctuary wins that "Outstanding Contribution to Science Fiction Film or Television In 2008" thing. It sounds like Amanda's WOV award .

OK, now for Amanda . I'm EXTRA, EXTRA happy and proud of her for all of those noms she got . I've been waiting for her to me nominated for an award for Requiem, I waited, and now she's got 2 . I still can't believe she got 6 award noms for Continuum and Sanctuary, all in 1 month . Hey, that reminds me, this is like back in 07 when she won 3 awards in one month, but now, it's better . If there is such a thing as karma, Amanda's definitely on it's good side!

So yeah, A HUGE congrats to Amanda for all those award noms, both for Continuum and Sanctuary, particularly for Sanctuary because it's mostly hers. (Stargate and Sam are still my first, main love ). She worked SO freaking long and hard, and she definitely deserved each one of those noms, and I SO hope she wins all 6 of them .

Congrats Amanda.

The Stargate franchise also picked up the most prestigious award of the night, "Outstanding Canadian Contribution to Science Fiction Film or Television in 2008" which was accepted at the ceremonies by Canadian actors David and Kate Hewlett from "Stargate Atlantis".

The most competitive category of the evening was the award for "Best Male Performance in a 2008 Science Fiction Film", where Robert Downey Jr.'s performance in "Iron Man" nudged out Heath Ledger, Neil Patrick Harris, Richard Dean Anderson and Ron Perlman for the win.
