\u00a0“Arrested Development” and “The Big Bang Theory” will vie with the Brits’ “Family Tree” and “The Wrong Man” in the best sitcom category at the upcoming Canadian TV conference.<\/div>\n
\n

TORONTO \u2013\u00a0U.S. and British TV producers will continue a tradition at the upcoming Banff World Media Festival with their annual Banff Rockie Awards shoot-out.<\/p>\n

The sitcom category will pit U.S. entries like\u00a0Arrested Development\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Big Bang Theory\u00a0<\/em>against British competition from\u00a0Family Tree\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Wrong Man<\/em>, a U.K.-U.S. co-production from BBC and Hulu, with the Canadian comedy\u00a0Package Deal\u00a0<\/em>and the Belgium-Holland co-production\u00a0Safety First\u00a0<\/em>also contending.<\/p>\n

In the serial drama competition, North America has the edge, asHouse of Cards\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Bible f<\/em>rom the U.S. and Canada’s\u00a0Orphan Black<\/em>\u00a0vie with Britain’s\u00a0Downton Abbey<\/em>, Korea’s\u00a0Good Doctor\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Hostages\u00a0<\/em>from Israel.<\/p>\n

In all, British producers received 31 Banff Rockie nominations, followed closely by\u00a0U.S. producers, with 30 nods.<\/p>\n

The neck-and-neck competition in Banff is reflected in the procedural drama category, where U.S. contenders\u00a0Justified<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Person of Interest\u00a0<\/em>will square off against the U.K. series\u00a0The Fall\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Luther,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Bron (The Bridge)\u00a0<\/em>from broadcasters in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium, and Germany’s\u00a0Scene of the Crime<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Banff Rockie Awards, which sees U.S. TV shows compete against international fare, features three American contenders in the best reality category \u2014\u00a0Beyond Scared Straight, Project Runway All-Stars<\/em>and\u00a0Cold Justice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

They will go up against British competition from\u00a0The Call Center\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Strictly Come Dancing<\/em>, and the Canadian adaptation\u00a0Big Brother Canada<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Americans dominate the sci-fi and action competition in Banff, with entries\u00a0Arrow, Helix<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Agents of SHIELD<\/em>\u00a0up against Canada’s\u00a0Continuum\u00a0<\/em>and Britain’s\u00a0Doctor Who<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Banff Rockie Awards will hand out trophies in 26 categories next month, including documentary, kids, animation and web series.<\/p>\n

The Banff World Media Festival is set to run from June 8 to 11 in the Canadian Rockies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
