‘Abbott Elementary,’ ‘The Last of Us,’ ‘Gen V’ Among Banff’s 2024 Rockie Awards Nominees

The BBC leads all producers among nominees with 22 at this year’s 2024 Rockie Awards International Program Competition, as announced Thursday by the Banff World Media Festival. The United States is tops among all countries, with 51 total, followed closely by the UK with 50.

Among U.S. production companies, 20th TV was tops with 8 — helped by its sweep of the scripted animated series field. Nominees in the English-language comedy field include “Abbott Elementary,” “Poker Face,” “The Great” and “The Wonder Years,” while drama nominees include “Gen V,” “Succession,” “Happy Valley” and “The Last of Us.”

The 2024 Rockie Awards ceremony takes place during this year’s Banff festival on Tuesday, June 11. Also during the event, the Rockie Awards Grand Jury will reveal its Grand Jury Prize, selected from the top-scoring programs across the entire field of nominees.

This year’s Grand Jury includes Javiera Balmaceda, Head of Originals, Latin America, CA & AU at Amazon MGM Studios; Julie Chang, EVP, Business Strategy & Co-Productions at Blue Ant Media; Prentiss Fraser, President, TV Distribution at Fifth Season; Nichole T. Roberts, Head of Unscripted at Hoorae; Michael Thorn, President, scripted Programming at Fox Entertainment; and Morgan Wandell,
Head of International Content Development at Apple TV+

“We’re delighted to unveil the nominees for this year’s Rockie Awards, a field that truly embodies
excellence and innovation within our industry. This is the best of the best across international content. Deep appreciation goes to the esteemed members of the Grand Jury, whose discerning adjudication elevates the program immeasurably,” said Banff exec director Jenn Kuzmyk in a statement.

In addition to the Grand Jury Prize, the $25,000 Rogers Prize for Excellence in Canadian Content, awarded to the top Canadian production and the Prix Francophone for the top French language production will also be awarded as well as other special awards. In total, 30 awards will be bestowed in the category streams of documentary & Factual, Arts & Entertainment, Children & Youth, scripted, and Podcast, in addition to the presentation of several Rockies Gala Awards to be announced soon.

Besides the US and UK, other country leaders include Canada (40 nominations), France (8), Germany (7) and Taiwan (6).
