Hey! A rare Monday blog post is up! The 37th annual Alberta Film & Television Awards, celebrating excellence and outstanding achievement in Albertan film, television and new media, were handed out Saturday, May 28 at a sold-out gala celebration in Edmonton. The evening was hosted by comedian Steve Patterson. Click through for more info and an important "Spot the Differences" update!
The statuette, known as the "Rosie", was awarded in 22 Class and 29 Craft categories.
It was - as you may have read online - a very good night for Heartland!
This year, Canada's favourite family series took the most number of Rosies (5), while the Alberta producers from SEVEN/24 Films co-led the pack as the production company receiving the most Rosies (6).
In order to qualify for an Alberta Film & Television Award a production must be at least co-produced by an Alberta production company. For any craftsperson to be eligible he or she must have been a resident of Alberta for the 2010 calendar year.
If you're curious, the complete list of winners for the 2011 Alberta Film & Television Awards can be found at www.ampia.org. You might be interested, as some people connected to Heartland won Rosies for other productions they worked on.

In other news...
I think you've all honed your "Spot the Difference" skills enough on the puzzles I've been posting the past few Mondays, so you're now ready to apply those skills to see if you can't get your hands on some swag! So this is fair warning that although there is no new puzzle today, keep your eyes open on Saturday June 11, as a killer of a "Spot the Differences" puzzle will go up then, at noon EDT. More details will be in this Thursday's blog post, but one thing I'll tell you is this: what may make it challenging for some of you will be the fact that I am NOT going to tell you ahead of time how many differences there are!
So there! (Heh heh heh!)

Congrats to all the Heartland winners. You are all so deserving, but we must say that award of the night went to Shaun Johnston. He is amazing as Grampa Jack. He truly is the heart of Heartland and steals our hearts every week.

Congratulations Heartland!!!
That's a whole lotta Heartland on the calendar for the next couple of months! So fabulous! I wonder if we may be able to guess the season 5 premiere date based on the repeat schedule. September 25th perhaps?

Hi to all at Heartland from Australia
My sister and I are addicted to Heartland. We love all the characters (Jack is my number 1) love the music, scenery and story line. Unfortunately we are waiting for Series 3 to hit Aussie shores in July, to then have our next Heartland marathon fix.
Thank you for a wonderful show.

Belated congratulations to "Jack", we all are mightily impressed with him. Still don't understand why Amber was not even nominated. Happy for Roseanne Supernault, and big kudos for Michelle Thrush and Carmen Moore, and of course Nathaniel Arcand, all on Blackstone; they are terrific too. Both casts are amazing!
