ELLEN NOMINATED FOR A GENIE!
Our own Ellen Page has picked up another in a long list of honours and awards this year. Already nominated for countless awards – including the Best Actress Oscar – for her work in Juno, Ellen has been nominated for the Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role Genie Award for the Canadian feature film, The Tracey Fragments.
The Genies will be handed out by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television on March 3, 2008.
The Tracey Fragments earned Ellen a Best Actress Award at last fall’s Atlantic Film Festival in Halifax.
