TV series<br \/>\nRoswell- is set to co-host this years Manitoba&#8217;s Blizzard Awards with<br \/>\nMovieTelevision host Terry David Mulligan.<\/p>\n<p>These awards, which celebrate the best in Manitoba film and television<br \/>\nproduction, will be held over 2 nights-March 2 and 3- and will mark the end<br \/>\nof the Local Heros Canadian Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Brendan has family here and that had a lot to do with it,&#8221; says Richard<br \/>\nHorne, director of the Manitoba Motion Pictures Industry Association, who<br \/>\npresents the Blizzards. &#8220;It was a lucky set of coincidences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fehr,23, was raised in Winnipeg, and will next be seen on the big screen in<br \/>\nthe Forsaken, a vampire thriller scheduled to be open in April.<\/p>\n<p>Horne says Mulligan was impressed by the quality of production in Manitoba<br \/>\nwhen he paid a visit to a couple of local film sets last October. When asked<br \/>\nabout participating in the Blizzards, Mulligan expressed interest.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, the Blizzards have been held one night only. But with a host<br \/>\nof new catagories added this year- among them Best Reportage, Best Anchor,<br \/>\nBest Children&#8217;s Program, and Best Performance by a Manitoba Actor or<br \/>\nActress- there was a need to strech the program out over to evenings.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzards four new catagories will be handed out March 2 at a pre-gala award<br \/>\nceremony hosted by improv group The Royal Liechtenstien Theater Company. The<br \/>\nfollowing night, the gala ceremony, which features Fehr and Mulligan, will<br \/>\ntake place at the Prairie Production Center. Local comedians Deam Jenkinson<br \/>\nand Al Rae will emcee the event.<\/p>\n<p>Nominations will be announced Feb 7.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n[My notes:**Let&#8217;s hope Brendan will be nominated!]\n<p>Also noted in either Tuesday or Wednesday&#8217;s Winnipeg Free press, The<br \/>\nForsaken starring Brendan was a &#8220;Most anticipated movie&#8221; in their Up Coming<br \/>\nMovie Reviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Michelle for this: I noticed Mr. Manager told you about Brendan co-hosting Manitoba&#8217;s Blizzard awards, but in today&#8217;s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2376,3],"tags":[806,9,805,295],"coauthors":[2273],"class_list":["post-1521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brendan-fehr","category-leading","tag-blizzard-awards","tag-brendan-fehr","tag-co-hosting","tag-presenting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1521"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1521\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28555,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1521\/revisions\/28555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1521"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crashdown.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
