GEORGIA STRAIGHT: Leo Awards 2011 red carpet: Sanctuary's Amanda Tapping

This year’s red carpet ran a hundred feet or so along the skinny West Georgia street corridor on the north side of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, and the crush got a little intense. The Straight had a few brief words with Amanda Tapping at the gala event on Saturday (June 11) as she made her way inside. The star of Sanctuary was nominated for Best Lead Performance by a Female in a Dramatic Series (the trophy went to Carmen Moore, for Blackstone). Tapping was also a presenter at the awards gala...

Georgia Straight: I’m surprised nobody’s been hit by a bus.

Amanda Tapping: "I know! But it’s a cool vibe tonight. It’s the little awards that people kinda laugh at sometime, but I think for us in the industry it’s a great opportunity to share with each other what we’re doing here. And the fact that there’s so much indigenous product happening in Vancouver right now, we’re not just the service industry that we were for so long. I think we’re all very proud of that. I know that all sounds very heady, and goofy, but it’s nice to actually be part of an indigenous industry, when the industry is failing in so many ways all over the place..."
