BY ANDRÉ SOARES. HOLLYWOOD (CINEMA MINIMA) — The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television has announced the nominees for the 28th Genie Awards. David Cronenberg’s thriller EASTERN PROMISES and Roger Spottiswoode’s Rwanda genocide tale SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL, each received 12 nominations. They were followed by Sarah Polley’s AWAY FROM HER, with seven nods; and THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS, with six.
The violent EASTERN PROMISES, which is up for the best British film BAFTA (it’s a co-production), stars Viggo Mortensen as a dangerous Russian hitman. Mortensen, director David Cronenberg, supporting actor Armin Mueller-Stahl, and screenwriter Steve Knight are all up for Genies.
