The spotlight will be on film industry personalities like
Denys Arcand, Leslie Nielsen, Arthur Hiller, Nicholas Campbell
and Mary Walsh at The Carlu on October 2

One of the high points of the evening will be when renowned actor Leslie Nielsen presents childhood friend Arthur Hiller (Love Story, Plaza Suite) with the DGC's Lifetime Achievement Award. A total of 19 team and individual craft awards will be presented to DGC members whose incredible work has entertained Canadians over the last year.
