Leo Awards Vancouver – I’ve always said they’re like our own version of the Oscars and Emmys. The Leo Awards, now in their 17th year, celebrated the best in BC with all the red carpet glam that goes with Hollywood North. Held at the Hyatt hotel – actors, directors, writers and producers strutted their stuff for the cameras and for the right to hold a coveted Leo Award. Three star-studded nights included live music, guest presenters a formal dinner and more. Congrats to everyone involved.
