This year, the buzz around the awards is extra high since Canadian productions have taken the world by storm lately. Homegrown hockey romance series “Heated Rivalry” dominated global pop-culture and received a whopping 18 nominations, slightly behind Iqaluit-set comedy “North of North” with 20. Other notable nominated films and series include “40 Acres,” “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie,” “Blue Heron” and more.
