wh00t Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 The Genie Awards are the Canadian equivalent of the Oscars. Egoyan always gets nominated for whatever he puts out. EXOTICA, for instance, massively sweeped the Awards in the 1994, taking 8 awards including Best Picture and Best Director. He also got Best Picture and Best Director for THE SWEET HEREAFTER, and Best Adapted Screenplay for FELICIA'S JOURNEY. How will he fare with ARARAT?

wh00t Posted December 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Surprises: Spider not nominated for Best Picture, Egoyan not nominated for Best Director. WHAT is that all about?

Guest Fadi Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 I wonder if it has anything to do about the Accademy politics. They would not want to confront again Cronenberg with Egoyan, do they ? I bet. My prediction is that one will get the Best Picture, and the other, the Best Director, so both could be happy. I may be mistaken, we'll see it tonigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
