Live from Saskatchewan

"When Canadians tune in to the Geminis this fall on CBC they will be treated to an event unlike any year before."

That's what Kirstine Layfield, CBC's executive director of network programming, said earlier this year when it was announced that the annual awards honouring the best in Canadian television would be returning to CBC.

I wonder if she was kidding around – just a bit.

The Geminis in Saskatchewan? But there's no auditorium big enough in Dog River, is there? No place in Mercy either – the church basement is always rented out, you see. So Regina will have to do when the travelling road show edition of the Gemini Awards passes through town Sunday night at 8 on CBC.

The show will run a mere hour.

There'll even be a half-hour Entertainment Tonight Canada red-carpet special at 7:30 p.m on Global.

There have already been three nights of Industry Awards, but the biggest prizes are still to come.

Here's a guide to what to expect in the remaining major categories.

BEST DIRECTION IN A DRAMA SERIES: John Fawcett (Bon Voyage); Chris Haddock (Intelligence), Stephen Surjik (Intelligence), Kelly Makin (JOZI H), George Mihalka (JOZI H).

BEST DRAMATIC SERIES: Intelligence, Slings & Arrows, JOZI H, ReGenesis, Whistler.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY A COMEDY ENSEMBLE: Casts of Comedy Inc., Corner Gas, Rent-A-Goalie, RCAF, The Business, This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
