GENIE AWARDS 32 - By Greg Klymkiw - The Nominees, What Should Have Been Nominated, What Should Have Won If The Genies Had Bothered To Nominate It, What Should Win, What Will Win, What DID Win

The 32nd Annual Genie Awards
and The First Annual Klymkiw Genie Awards

By Greg Klymkiw
A new day is dawning on the Genie Awards (Canada's version of the Oscars) with a whole new Board of Directors and a new head honcho, the inimitable Canadian Cinema Dynamo: Helga Stephenson. I'm also happy to report that the 32nd Awards ceremony is finally back where it belongs and will be broadcast on Canada's Peoples' Network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). When the CBC decided a few years ago to stop participating in the Genie Awards I was utterly gob-smacked! Ratings be damned! The CBC is a public broadcaster and has a duty to celebrate homegrown cinema. End of story!

In keeping with this momentous event, please find below all the Genie Nominee categories I care to cover. Each category will list the official nominees, but will be accompanied with my own picks for films that SHOULD have been nominated and films that SHOULD have won had the Genie Awards bothered to Nominate them. These categories (highlighted below in bold italics) comprise my picks for The First Annual Klymkiw Genie Awards. You'll also notice in a couple of categories my own personal picks for what's best DO correspond to the Genie nominations.

I will also opine on what of the nominated films SHOULD win (as determined pour moi) and my predictions on what WILL win.

The full list of the First Annual KLYMKIW Genie Awards will Be Summarized at the bottom of this piece, so if you don't feel like going through all the other stuff and ONLY want to see what I think represents the best of Canadian Cinema in 2011, just scroll down.

Some of the Canadian films that I chose for my own accolades didn't even bother submitting their films to the Genie Awards for a variety of reasons - either the fees to enter the awards were too high or they just didn't think the Genie Awards were worth entering. I've personally always had a problem with the idea of producers having to submit their films for consideration and PAY for the privilege. Every film released within the Academy's guidelines should be considered and should NOT have fees attached to them. It lacks class. End of story.

During the awards I will report on the actual winners of the awards live from the Genie Awards Press Room and update this column when this information becomes available. I might also present a few quips along the way at the bottom of this piece and occasionally tweet a few thoughts on Twitter (so you're welcome to check in here and/or follow me on Twitter @GregKlymkiwCFC).

As you'll see below, many of my own nominees and winners differ considerably from the Genie nominees, but as James Cagney says in Raoul Walsh's Strawberry Blonde, "Thet's just the kind of hairpin I am."

I left a few categories right off that I have no opinion on (Best Song and all the shorts), but everything else is detailed below. In reality, I can't imagine too many people outside of the Canadian film industry will be watching and/or care, but perhaps the ratings will prove me wrong. In any event, Let's have a blast.
Just before we begin,
feel free to watch the
