• READ: Nine Gemini nominations for Stargate Universe:

Nominations for the 25th annual Gemini Awards (Canada’s television awards) have just been released, with Stargate Universe‘s cast and crew receiving an impressive nine nominations.

SGU is nominated for Best Dramatic Series (competing against Durham County, Flashpoint, Republic of Doyle, and The Tudors). In the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role, Robert Carlyle (Nicholas Rush, for the episode “Human”) and Louis Ferreira (Everett Young, for “Justice”) are nominated. And for Best Direction in a Dramatic Series, Andy Mikita received a nomination for part 1 of the series premiere.

It’s interesting that it’s going up against Durham County, in that Louis Ferreira blew that role out of the water as well. Wouldn’t it be something if he walked away with both?

I’ve gotten hooked on this show so I’m stoked that it’s going into a second season, woohoo!:

Syfy announced it was renewing its new series Stargate Universe for a second season and it was also picking up Sanctuary for a third season. Both series were given orders for 20 episodes, which will begin airing in the fall.

Sanctuary is currently in the midst of airing its second season, while Stargate Universe is on hiatus between the first half of season one and the second half, which will air in April. Universe has been controversial with Stargate fans, who’ve shown a mixed reaction to the franchise’s new direction.

“We’re dealing with 15 seasons of expectations with a certain fanbase,” executive producer Robert Cooper told the Hollywood Reporter. “Hopefully, as the show goes on, people will appreciate Universe for being its own thing.”

He also revealed a new alien race will be added to the show. “There is a big story point coming up that does introduce an alien race,” Cooper said. “It’s more along the line of a District 9-type alien. Our interaction is handled in a very Universe way; they’re not the typical Stargate alien bad guys.”
