I am proud to highlight that 85 of the shows nominated for an award this year were funded by the Canada Media Fund, or one of its predecessors, the Canadian Television Fund. We aspire to connect Canadian consumers to the content they want, wherever and whenever they want to watch it. And through the 2010 Gemini Awards, we celebrate the successes achieved by the industry on television and digital media platforms."

"From coast to coast and channel to channel, viewers celebrate Canadian culture with quality, homegrown productions. Tonight, we celebrate the people who bring all of this to our televisions. Their craft, hard work and dedication proudly present our national identity whenever someone here, or abroad, turns the channel to one of our uniquely Canadian productions. So, here’s to the actors, gaffers and grips whose early mornings and late nights make it all possible. We at Zip.ca thank them for creating the Canadian content that continually expands our entertainment library."
