- It was a non-Egoyan kind of year at this year's equivalent to the Academy Awards, but "Egoyan-apprentice" Sarah Polley managed to leave a long-lasting impression with her directorial debut. The actress-turned-director picked up a total of seven awards (a trio of acting awards and the cream of the crop awards of Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Film) for Away From Her while David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises equaled that tally winning mostly technical awards. Apart from a short film win, the ceremony blanked any wins from the French part of Canada - of course nothing stood a chance against the two popular titles mentioned above.
