US, UK shows dominate Banff Rockie Award nominations
    2020-04-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE canceled Banff World Media Festival on Tuesday revealed the nominations for its Rockie Awards, with American and British TV producers dominating the competition.

U.K. TV shows earned 44 nominations, followed closely by American series with 43 nominations. The Banff Rockies prize-giving will be streamed live June 15.

The best drama category will see BBC and HBO’s “Gentleman Jack” challenging BBC and NBC Universal’s “The Capture” and WGN America’s “Pure” from Canada’s Cineflix Studios. British series dominate the comedy competition as BBC’s “Fleabag,” “Motherland” and “This Time With Alan Partridge” series will challenge A24’s “Ramy” and Channel Four’s “This Way Up.”

The Rockie Awards nominations were announced after the 2020 Banff World Media Festival, set to run June 14-17 in the Canadian Rockies, was canceled and delayed for a year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Despite that disruption, jury members for the festival’s Rockie Awards continued their deliberations. Canadian TV shows received 37 nominations, mostly as co-productions or in arts, science and lifestyle categories.

The limited series competition at the Rockie Awards will see HBO’s “Chernobyl” and Showtime’s “The Loudest Voice” compete against BBC’s “Dublin Murders” and “Years and Years” and the Belgian show “Studio Tarara.”

The Rockie Awards each year sees U.S. TV shows compete against international fare. In the documentary categories, the crime and investigation competition will pit the American shows “The Case Against Adnan Syed,” “Sea of Shadows” and “The Trial of Ratko Mladic” against the Canadian-U.S. co-production “Children of the Snow” and the Taiwanese series “The Negotiators: Taipei Hostage Crisis.”
