Congratulations to the cast and crew of Stargate: Atlantis

for garnering five Gemini Awards. The so-called "Canadian

Emmys" nominations were announced on August 25, 2009

and the awards ceremonies will be held in Calgary,

Alberta on November

14, 2009.


SG:A gained recognition for their work in Writing, Costume

Design, Makeup, and Visual Effects. Series co-creator and

executive producer Brad Wright was cited for his work in

writing the episode "The Shrine."


In addition to the SG:A notices, star Amanda Tapping has

extra reason to celebrate. Sanctuary, her current project,
