Matt Watts wins an ACTRA award for work on Canadia: 2056
Joe Mahoney is reporting on his blog that Matt Watts, star and author of Canadia: 2056, has WON an ACTRA Award for “Outstanding Performance – Voice” for his work on Canadia: 2056! Matt beat out four animated TV shows performers (that’s sticking it to em Radio Drama!).
Too bad so few Canadians will get to hear his award winning work (no podcast or time-shifted listening is available for the CBC radio drama series).
Ironically, ACTRA, the union for Canada’s English-language actors, which awarded Matt his trophy, had been pressuring the federal government to bring in its new (and still somewhat mysterious) copyright legislation – arguing that “By not releasing the promised legislation, the government is causing further delays, and in the process shelving years of hard work.” – while ACTRA itself has failed, for years, to negotiate with the CBC for podcast distribution of radio drama series like Afganada and Canadia: 2056.
Season one of Canadia: 2056 is still re-running on CBC Radio One – with just two episodes left to go – and then, in mid-March SEASON TWO BEGINS!!! Check out the official CBC website for the show, where they’ve recently added a few more videos.
The penultimate episode airs this week…
Episode 9: Air Dates: March 5 & 7
Airing time: Wednesday at 11:05 p.m. (11:35 NT) and Friday at 11:30 a.m. (12:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
“The Captain takes drastic action when his relationship with the computer goes too far. Faverau gets a promotion. Anderson and Lewis try to modify the robot. The captain uncovers the real reason the Americans declared war on the Ipampilashians. As they approach the end of the mission, the relationships between the crewmembers intensify.”
