A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Dan Levy, upon accepting the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television, highlighted how Canadian production companies were ahead of the industry in recognizing the value of queer stories. He drew parallels between his hit show 'Schitt's Creek' and the new series 'Heated Rivalry,' noting that Canada saw potential in both before they achieved mainstream success. Levy also praised fellow Canadian Jacob Tierney, who was honored with a Showrunner Award.
