The Tudors, the Fifth Estate, and CBC’s coverage of the Beijing Olympics picked up a bunch of hardware at the Gemini industry galas on Monday and Tuesday nights.
The CBC’s coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympics lead the way with five awards, including best live sporting event, best analysis, best feature, best play-by-play and best reporting.
The Fifth Estate also won four awards for best writing, best direction, best host and best news information series in an information program.
The Tudors won four Gemini awards. The historical drama about the life and times of Henry the VIII won for best photography, best editing, best production design and best sound in a dramatic series.
The Tudors is a CBC co-production between Peace Arch Entertainment, Reveille Eire in Ireland, Working Title Films in the United Kingdom and the CBC. The show is shot in Ireland, with most of the post-production work done in Canada.
The industry event, held over two nights in Toronto, celebrated the best Canadian youth, comedy, drama, variety, news, sports, documentary and lifestyle television. The rest of the awards will be presented on November 14th in Calgary.
The full list of awards associated with the CBC is after the jump. Let me know if I’ve missed any.
