If this keeps up Oakville Diana Swain will need to invest in a new stor- age place for her hardware. The longtime reporter just received her third Gemini Award at this years gala ceremony that took place Nov. 2. My husband promises hell build me a trophy case, she said, speaking to the Beaver. It is one of those things now where Im not sure where to put them. Swain took home the award for best news anchor for her role as host of CBC News: Toronto at 6. This is the second consecutive year and the third time she has won the award in the category. She is also the only woman to win it. She said the win was a surprise for her. You never go into these things expecting to win so its always a gen- uine thrill when it happens, she said. Swain was CBC Torontos 6 p.m. news anchor for about six years, but this summer she changed roles at the public broadcaster. She is now an investigative reporter with the CBCs national team, a role she stepped into this summer. It was kind of a nice swan song in a way to win because Ive anchored for many years and in different roles, she said. She still does some anchoring for the CBC, but now her primary role has changed. She said she enjoys her new role at the CBC, saying the pace is very busy and the work is challenging, but it is also fun. The 25th annual Gemini Awards took place over two nights at industry galas on Nov. 2 and 3, to be broadcast Nov. 13 on Global and Showcase. Meanwhile, the hit cop drama Flashpoint, created by an Oakville cou- ple, was also the recipient of a Gemini Award at this years gala on Nov. 3. Actor Michael Riley received the award for best performance by an actor in a guest role in a dramatic series for his work on the episode Coming To You Live. The show was created by the mar- ried couple Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern. The show received 15 Gemini nom- inations this year. Last year it received 19 nods.
