Leo Awards honour those behind-the-scenes

On Friday night, 41 Leo Awards were handed out to the technicians and craftspeople behind the top film and television productions in our province. While lacking the botox-injected glamour of the red carpet Gala Awards Ceremony on Saturday (June 5), the Celebration Awards Ceremony was a laidback affair befitting the people whose keen eyes and ears, and patient personalities, make film and TV productions possible.

Big winners on the night included the miniseries Alice with five awards (Production Design, Sound Editing, Overall Sound, Picture Editing, Best Visual Effects) and fiction-fantasy series Sanctuary with four (Direction, Costume Design, Make-up, Production Design). The short film The Gray Matter also nabbed four Leos (Costume Design, Production Design, Sound Editing, Overall Sound) while the documentary Facing Ali had three wins (Direction, Cinematography, Picture Editing). The top award for Best Direction in a Feature Length Drama went to Bruce Sweeney for his romantic comedy Excited.
