Charlotte's Song dominated the motion picture categories of the Leo Awards at the Hyatt Regency on Saturday (May 28), in the first of three nights celebrating local film and TV.

Director Nicholas Humphries' dark retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid”—starring the creepy Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones, Misfits)—was honoured for production design, costume design, and make-up. Saturday's event was largely focused on technical awards.

The television movie category also went the supernatural route, with R.L. Stine’s Monsterville: The Cabinet of Souls, a horror comedy about high school students who must rid their town of an evil showman, sweeping all five categories up for consideration (production design, costume design, make-up, editing, sound.)

The short drama section was highlighted by three wins for The Mary Alice Brandon File. Directed by twin sisters Kailey and Sam Spear, the short is a Twilight prequel of sorts, centred on the dark past of Alice Cullen, a character from the series.

The awards for dramatic television series were varied and featured a couple of well-known series that are shot in Vancouver. Continuum won for production design, while Arrow took home costume design and The Flash won for visual effects. The Romeo Section was the only series to win multiple awards, taking home accolades for editing and sound. The CBC series about Canadian spies was also the only nominee in the category in its debut season.

Sonic Magic: The Wonder and Science of Sound, a CBC documentary that explores the extraordinary uses of sound in medical research, took home both prizes in the documentary category with wins in editing and, surprise, sound.

The Leos will continue with two more nights of awards scheduled on June 4 and 5.
