Geminis leave Toronto for the first time


TORONTO – Global Television has announced that the 21st Annual Gemini Awards will be held outside of Toronto for the first time.

The two-hour special on November 4th will air from the River Rock Resort Theatre in Vancouver, B.C.

Of course, throughout Gemini week, Global Television’s own Entertainment Tonight Canada will be on-hand with exclusive coverage of all the parties, preparations, and up close nominee and industry features.
Throughout the 21st Annual Gemini Awards, ET Canada fans can keep up with winners, celebrity guests, sound-bites and sound-offs – direct from the backstage ‘ET Canada Gemini Lounge’.

"We’re delighted to be partnering once again with The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, and recognizing excellence and achievement in Canadian television," said Barbara Williams, senior vice-president of programming and production for CanWest MediaWorks. "The excitement of taking the Geminis on the road will not only translate into a tremendous broadcast for audiences nationwide, but will showcase the incredible work of our Canadian production community, and put a special focus on our vibrant western scene."
