Have, too many people to say thank you too so, I won't bore all of you guys at home by, naming them out right now instead, I'll bore them individually, as I meet them because they know who they are and I love them very much I, need. To say that representation. Matters. I think. A show like Kim's convenience, is proof that representation. Matters because, when communities, and people, see themselves reflected up, on the screens it is an inspiring, and a very powerful moment for them because, it means they've moved from the margins, into. The forefront and it, gives them a voice and it, gives them hope and hope. Is a very empowering. Thing because it inspires, people and when. You give people a voice other people, start listening, and, when people start listening things start, to change and, we, need change we, need to affect change and that, there's this little button here it, means a lot and better. People than I can speak more, to it than I will but it's time for all of us to listen as well I just, want to say thank you to the Academy, thank you to my Kim's family my, caste my mom my, dad my sister my wife no, miles at home you, can start playing video games now so.

Lisa and I both, understand, the power of stories stories, can be used as a weapon but they can also be used to build bridges between people between. Nations, and if, harnessed in a good way stories can inspire and power change, minds and motivate, all of us to be better right. It. Is a time for all of us to stand up and challenge the headlines, and the. Stereotypes. And the inequality.

Canadians, with great stories to share and some of the best untapped, talent, around we. All face challenges, in our lives for which mean we all we all must be individual, accounted, for and we, must all work together as, an industry and, as Canadians, to rise above the mistakes of our shared history and to, write a news, story where, we can all thrive together.

What happened when they got wet they, multiplied, right the. Assistant director or ad is the gremlin, of the film set with some movies having as many as four or more involved, but each one has a very specific role. Generally. If you hear someone yelling on a film set that's the first ad their. Job is to manage the set for the director making sure they stay on schedule it's, super. Stressful because it's up to the ad to get the crew to keep calm yet, hurry up and of course hurry up and wait, the. Second ad is the first right hand telling the crew when and where to arrive for the next scene and getting, the actors through makeup and wardrobe, the, third ad s job is to help out the first and second ad I'm, guessing, mostly with backrubs and occasional foot massages, I'm. Carrying. That there are no back rubs what's. The point then. You. The, following program is a live broadcast and may contain coarse language viewer discretion is advised.

Social media and, the academy website over, 17. Million, people voted. For their favorite Canadian, working, in film TV, or digital, media from. A shortlist of ten we got to three final. Nominees. Elise, Baumann. Jade. Hassoun a, Melanie's. Scruffy no and. The. Winner of the cogeco fund audience, choice award is. Elise. Baumann. Wow. Firstly. Thank you to everyone, at Shaftesbury for all of your support over the years, thank, you to my amazing agent, Michael white thank you to my talented, and supportive, carmella co-star, Natasha, Naga van list who was also last, year's winner of this award, and, most, importantly, thank you to everyone who voted for me in this category you have proven, over and over again that, there is strength in numbers and that your voice matters. A few. Years ago I was cast in a small non-union, webseries that centered on an unlikely love story between two women unlikely. Not because they were both women but because one happened to be a vampire and, without. The support of you the audience that, series, may not have gone past a first season but, because you all watched it spread the word about it like wildfire, through the internet and were, vocal about what positive queer representation meant, to you that little series turned into a second season which turned into a third which turned into a feature film and now with a primetime series in development. The. Entertainment. Industry, is changing but. Not rapidly, enough and we need the voices of the public to prove that diverse stories that will have a large and dedicated, audience if we, want to see films and shows with inclusive representation. Both in front of and behind this, camera we, need to support those projects, so, my ask of you is this one, seek out and watch projects, made by and starring women people
