I’m assuming that Sarah did not attend the Gemini Awards like the article below mentioned. I haven’t been able to find any indication that she was there. :( No worries though, this weekend I’m going to start adding pictures from other public appearances!

There are no direct flights from Los Angeles to Regina. That is unless you are a group of nine Canadian television stars in Hollywood looking to make your way to Saskatchewan for Sunday’s Gemini Awards.

In that case, arrangements can be made. On Sunday, a private plane — owned by a “Dragon” from CBC’s Dragon’s Den — will transport some of the award show’s presenters to the city.

The Canadian stars jetting from California to the Prairies include Howie Mandel, Sarah Chalke, Jason Priestley, Anne Heche, Kathleen Robertson, James Tupper, Andrea Roth and Russell Peters.

This year’s 22nd Annual Gemini Awards will mark the second year in which the show will be held outside of Toronto — last year, the show was held in Vancouver.

Not only that, but Regina will be the first city in which the live show will be open to a public audience. Previously, the Gemini Awards were only attended by industry insiders.

“This is a bit of an experiment,” said Gemini Awards spokeswoman Katherine Holmes.

And as with most first efforts, there are a few kinks still to be worked out.

While ticket sales are steady, they are falling short of being spectacular.

“They’re not going to where we had hoped they would be,” Holmes conceded. “I think that the Gemini Awards are probably new to the province of Saskatchewan. With (more awareness), we’re anticipating that by Sunday, we’ll have a very good audience out there.”

Nevertheless, according to Vanessa Bonk, executive director of the Saskatchewan Motion Picture Association, the city is abuzz with anticipation for the event that follows on the heels of April’s Juno Awards in Saskatoon.

“For our industry, it gives us an opportunity to showcase the facilities we have, like the soundstage,” she added. “I think it does something for the city. It shows what great volunteers we have and the capacity we have to take on a large show like this.”

The decision to hold this year’s Gemini Awards in Regina was the result of a bidding process.

“Regina was just very, very interested and really aggressively pursued the academy and had a number of advantages to offer,” said Sarah Morton, CEO of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.

“It was the enthusiasm of the people, it was wanting to engage audiences and the industry in the West that really made it appealing … Regina has a strong film and T.V. industry and has some hit shows like Corner Gas and Little Mosque that are associated with the city, so it just felt like a really good fit.”

The fact that this year’s show will be held outside of Toronto has not posed a problem in the way of attracting the big-name stars that exemplify the Gemini Awards’ annual production, according to event organizers.

“There’s been overwhelming support of the Geminis in Regina,” said CBC producer Steve Sloan from an airport in Toronto. “In fact, we’ve had more talent confirmed for this show than any show since I started involvement with them 11 years ago.”

Sloan thinks that the reputation in the industry of this year’s host, George Stroumboulopoulos, has helped bring in some of the big stars.

“George as the host was a huge contributor to that,” Sloan said. “With his show, The Hour, and his draw to celebrities that he has, it was easy for people to connect with him and immediately know what the show is about in terms of tone.”

Viewers tuning into the show on Sunday evening can look forward to “tons of star power, great comedy and definitely a few surprises,” Sloan said.
