Leo Awards

"CELEBRATING excellence in British Columbia Film and Television" was what it was all about on Saturday May 11 as local stars and celebs crowded into Vancouver's Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina. The fourth annual awards show had all the makings of a real hollywood-style production as stars and starlets, agents, directors and producers sipped champagne and dined together in the beautifully decorated ballroom, each nervously awaiting their chance to hear the words "and the Leo goes to . . ."

	West Van's Lynne Carrow, seen here with vancouver actor Dax Belanger, is part of the award-winning Da Vinci's Inquest team who practically swept all the awards in the category for Best Drama Series.
	Agent Jayson marshall is always on the lookout for talent. He's had his own agency for close to two years now.
	Urban Rush host Fiona Forbes and producer Lisa MacFarlane looked sexy in black. Fiona, and her co-host Mike Eckford, are moving stations to CKVU 13 over the summer.
	Looking chic in fire red sequins was Creena Flynn, who was happy to accompany Jim Meier, president of Meier Entertainment Group.
	with credits too long to list, local actress Ellie Harvie added class and style to the evening along with her man, West Van's Saltaire restaurant owner Rob Ward.
	Nominated for Best News Anchor, CBC's Gloria Macarenko (left) enjoyed some giggles with Anna Mendham before the show.
	The North Shore's own Walter Daroshin, seen here with wife Tina, deserves all the credit you can give. He may deny it, but he's the driving force behind this awards show and it's success is largely due to his efforts as producer.
	West Van's Chris Bruyere is a talented writer producer and director who was nominated in a number of categories.
