Canada\u2019s Oscar contender It\u2019s Only the End of the World<\/em> and TV sci-fi series Orphan Black<\/em> top this year\u2019s nominations for the Canadian Screen Awards, a.k.a. the Candys.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Only the End of the World<\/em>, Xavier Dolan\u2019s drama of a terminally ill gay man\u2019s emotional return to his fractious family, took a leading nine nominations in the film section of the Candys, which were announced Tuesday. The movie is also shortlisted in the Oscars\u2019 Best Foreign Language Film category, with nominations to be unveiled Jan. 24.<\/p>\n

Perennial TV winner Orphan Black<\/em>, a sci-fi thriller series starring Tatiana Maslany as multiple clones, leads the broadcast section of the Candys with 14 nominations, including Best Dramatic Series.<\/p>\n

Both the film and TV leaders have competitors snapping at their heels.<\/p>\n

Race<\/em>, a dramatic biopic by Stephen Hopkins of history-making Olympic runner Jesse Owens, has eight Candy noms, including Best Motion Picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And the TV series Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em> has 13 nominations, including Best Comedy Series. It has a strong challenger in Kim\u2019s Convenience<\/em>, which has 11 Candy noms, Best Comedy Series among them.<\/p>\n

Other top film nominees are the dramas Before the Streets<\/em>, Operation Avalanche<\/em> and Weirdos<\/em>, each with six nominations, including Best Motion Picture. The rest of the 10 Best Motion Picture nominees are Old Stone<\/em> (five noms), Bad Seeds<\/em> (4 noms), Hello Destroyer<\/em> (four noms), Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves<\/em> (three noms) and Maliglutit (Searchers)<\/em> (two noms).<\/p>\n

And besides Orphan Black<\/em> and Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em>, other top nominees in the TV\/Digital categories are: 19-2<\/em> and Vikings<\/em>, both with nine nods; CBC News: The National <\/em>and Letterkenny<\/em>, both with eight nods; and Frontier<\/em> and The Amazing Race Canada<\/em>, both with seven nominations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s Only the End of the World<\/em> was assailed by critics for its melodramatic flourishes upon its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last May. Dolan was so rattled by the response he mused about possibly never returning to Cannes, yet at the end of the festival, his film won the Grand Prix, which is second only to the Palme d\u2019Or for fest honours. Now it\u2019s Canada\u2019s Oscar standard-bearer and a Candys leader.<\/p>\n

And roughly half of the nominees for Best Motion Picture have yet to open in Toronto, Canada\u2019s largest movie market.<\/p>\n

The TV series up for Candy glory, meanwhile, are mostly both critical and popular favourites.<\/p>\n

The Candys, the combo awards replacing the Genies for film and Geminis for TV, acquired their new nickname during last year\u2019s telecast. Host Norm Macdonald declared that it was finally time to make good on the long-proposed suggestion that the awards be named in honour of the late John Candy, a popular star of both Canadian films and television.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s telecast is set for March 12, with Howie Mandel hosting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
