Here is what Winnipeg Free Press writes:
The nominations were announced this morning by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television at simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Montreal.
Rounding out the best picture race is the thriller “The Whistleblower” and the francophone comedy “Starbuck.” They earned six nominations apiece.
The Genie Awards will be held March 8 in Toronto and will be broadcast on CBC-TV.
The acting categories are studded with international stars.
Notables include Michael Fassbender, Michelle Williams, Viggo Mortensen, Vanessa Paradis and Rachel Weisz.
Fassbender is in the best actor race for his turn as Carl Jung in “A Dangerous Method.” Rivals include Garret Dillahunt, who plays a disillusioned war vet in “Oliver Sherman”; Scott Speedman, as the notorious Canadian bank robber in “Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster”; Montreal’s Patrick Huard, who plays a frequent sperm donor in “Starbuck”; and Algeria’s Mohamed Fellag, who stars as a sensitive school teacher in “Monsieur Lazhar.”
Hollywood Reporter also has the story.
Interviews from the Winter TCA Press Tour
Several new interviews from the Winter TCAs showed up in recent days. The first one is from Examiner:
Fred Willard guest stars in “Mrs. Smartypants” as a high school teacher with a history with the Chance family who comes back into their lives when Jimmy decides to go back to school and earn his GED. And his parents end up following him into the classroom.
“None of us want to be the dumbest person in the house, so it’s ‘if you’re going to go, then we will to’!” Garret Dillahunt previewed for us when we caught up with him in Los Angeles last week.
Though we had personally assumed Burt and Virginia (Martha Plimpton) had actually graduated, Dillahunt shrugged and said “apparently not.” Well, they did have their hands full with a new baby and all! And the cycle was repeated for Jimmy (Lucas Neff), who decides to better himself when he sees indication of above-average intelligence in his daughter, Hope (Baylie and Rylie Cregut). — More at Examiner
And these two are from FOX All Access and TV Watchtower:

Christmas on Raising Hope: previews and cast interviews
E! Online talked to Garret, Lucas Neff and Shannon Woodward about tonight’s episode, “It’s a Hopeful Life.” The clip is embedded below (can’t turn off autoplay, sorry), along with a couple of sneak peeks, and here is the synopsis:
In a nod to the holiday classic “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the Chances go to the movies and are surprised when they discover that the film they’re watching is strikingly similar to their own family life. Meanwhile, Jimmy is transported into a cinematic dreamlike state and experiences the world as though he never met Hope’s serial killer mom Lucy (guest star Bijou Phillips). But when he returns to reality, he soon realizes that life without Hope would not be nearly as sweet.
The episode airs at 9:30 pm.
