The CBC period drama The Tudors has a shot at Emmy hardware, after the series received nods for outstanding casting and costume, as nominations for the 60th annual Emmy Awards were announced Thursday in Hollywood.

Nominated for costumes are designer Joan Bergin and wardrobe supervisor Susan O’Connor Cave. The casting prize nom is shared among five: Nuala Moiselle, Frank Moiselle, Mary Jo Slater, Steve Brooksbank, and Stephanie Gorin, who handled Canadian casting.

Last year, the show won for costumes and title music.

The Tudors, which chronicles the life and loves of a young King Henry VIII, portrayed by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, is currently shooting its third season. It is a copro with Ireland by Toronto’s Peace Arch Entertainment.

The show premiered last September on CBC to nearly one million viewers, while subsequent episodes averaged in the mid-700s. (All numbers 2+.)

The 10-part second season will premiere on CBC Tuesday Sept. 30 at 9 p.m., with the addition of legendary thesp Peter O’Toole as Pope Paul III. Canuck director Jeremy Podeswa (Fugitive Pieces) helmed the first two episodes. The series airs on Showtime in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Ottawa native Sandra Oh earned an Emmy nom for her supporting role as Dr. Cristina Yang on ABC’s popular medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. This is the fourth straight year she has been nominated for the role. Montreal-born William Shatner received his fourth nomination for his supporting role on Boston Legal. He won in 2005.

The Emmys will be handed out Sept. 21.

Another CBC project in the awards spotlight is the Canada/China copro miniseries Iron Road. Involving Toronto’s CCI Entertainment, the program’s Sun Li was named best actress in a miniseries at the RomaFictionFest for her role as Little Tiger.

Centered on the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1882, Iron Road is slated to air on the Ceeb next year.
