Stargate, and the stars of Stargate, just keep on reeling in the awards!

Last night were the Leo Awards in BC (thank you to Damian Kindler for tweeting that!!) and I found this wonderful news this morning.

Michael Shanks was honoured with the lead acting award for Stargate: Continuum, Stargate: Atlantis won Best TV Series (along with 8 other awards) for its 5th Season, and Stargate: Continuum won 3 awards in the film category.

Full details of the exact awards will be posted here later ... they had a late night and the website hasn't been updated yet ;)

But I think the biggest honour of the night had to go to Brad Wright and Robert C Cooper for the 'Outstanding Achievement' award. A nice little tribute can be found here

And we mustn't forget the talents of our favourite actress (ok folks, mine - hehe) Amanda Tapping, who won an award for Sanctuary (along with her co-stars Ryan Robbins and Gabrielle Rose). Sanctuary also picked up an award for Best Make-Up. Anyone who has seen that will know that was well deserved.

Well done to everyone!

Wright previously worked on series such as The Outer Limits, Forever Knight and Neon Rider. Cooper began as a story editor on PSI Factor.

Excellent accomplishments! Thanks for compiling the list Carter :)

In a way it's a shame though that a show can take home so many awards at the Leos, and be be bypassed by the other award circuits.

It really is!

I know they've been awarded a few Saturn awards (thinks? :S) in their time, but none of the really big awards that get plastered all over the TV and newspapers.

Anyone would think we had something against Canada :P

I think the bias is against episodic based science fiction in general. Sci-Fi movies can do very well, but--at least in America--they just aren't very popular on TV.

There are exceptions of course, and also a percentage of the population which goes against this, but mainstream viewers seem to prefer Sci-Fi in small doses.
