The hit Space series is up for trophies including best direction and best TV drama series, building on an already huge year in which it’s won a slew of awards.

Just this week star Tatiana Maslany won best actress in a drama series at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards in Los Angeles — an honour she also won last year.

The CBC-TV movie Still Life: A Three Pines Mystery, based on the Louise Penny crime novel, has the second-highest amount of DGC nominations with five.

The Good Witch’s Wonder from the Hallmark Channel is up for four awards.

Several projects have three nods apiece, including the Don McKellar-directed film The Grand Seduction, Denis Villeneuve’s “Enemy” and the CBC-TV miniseries Best Laid Plans.

The Grand Seduction and Enemy are up for best feature film against Cas & Dylan, The F Word and Gabrielle.

The awards gala, which will honour nominees in 19 categories, is set for Oct. 25 in Toronto.
