Canadian Science Fiction TV / Film Awards Winners Announced
The winners of the 2009 Constellation Awards, honouring the actors and producers behind Canada’s favourite science fiction TV series and movies, were announced this weekend at ceremonies held at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North Hotel.
Stargate SG1 actress Claudia Black accepted her trophy for ‘Best Female Performance in a 2008 Science Fiction Film” for her role in “Stargate: Continuum”. “To all who voted, I would like to say thank you very much,” she noted, acknowledging that all award winners were selected by popular vote.
The Stargate Franchise also picked up the most prestigious award of the night, “Outstanding Canadian Contribution to Science Fiction Film or Television in 2008″ which was accepted by Canadian actors David and Kate Hewlett from “Stargate Atlantis”.

I am presenting a new science fiction writer Romualdas Draksas. His new book „Man.The Awakening“ has just been published. Here is a short presentation of the book.
Man—the galaxy’s most fearsome creature, constructed as a unique war machine, who rose up and escaped from his creators and ended up a captive on a planet inhibiting most of his powers. But what were to happen if Humans again found themselves beyond the limits of their incarcerating planet’s effects, and they regained all of the awesome abilities their creators had given them? In other words, what would it mean if they started the process that the other races of the galaxy referred to as “the awakening”?
Just as a single rock can suffice to set a lethal avalanche in motion, so can a lone awakened Human be enough to rattle the entire galaxy.
