The Joey Awards reward young actors and actresses in Canada for their hard work and dedication to their craft. The awards recognize even the smallest of roles and bookings, as no role is ever consid- ered insignificant. Organizers say a young performer who books a job puts an incredible amount of work into the audition process, and should be recognized for this. The awards will be held Nov. 18 at the Sheraton Vancouver Airport. f ilm ca 905-338-6397 cinemas 171 Speers Road (a t K err) O akville www.film.ca facebook.com/filmca @FilmCaCinemas BLADE RUNNER 2049 (14A) O c t o b e r 6th THE RO CKY HORROR PICTURE SH O w ( 14a ) O c t o b e r 28 th, 29 th, 31th GEOSTORM (STC) O c t o b e r 20 th th e sn o w m a n (STC) v ic to r ia & A b d u l (PG) OCTOBER 20 th c o m in g s o o n
