Innovation is a guiding principle for Wattpad Studios, and what we bring to entertainment with our data-backed approach to creating hit TV shows, films, and books. Today, just four years since launching Wattpad Studios, our approach has been embraced by studios and entertainment executives from LA, to Paris, Seoul, and everywhere in between. Wattpad stories are on screens and bookshelves everywhere. We couldn’t have done this without the support of an industry ready for innovation and the incredible writers who build amazing worlds on Wattpad every day.” A+ E INCLUSION AWARD: Niecy Nash – “I’m deeply honored to ​ receive the prestigious A+E Inclusion Award and grateful to be recognized as a champion of women and brave storytelling.” CANADIAN AWARD OF DISTINCTION: Baroness von Sketch Show (Jamie Brown, CEO & Executive Producer, Frantic Films) – “As this series first started coming together, we dared to ​ dream we might create a show that could stand with the best of Canadian comedy – and considering the company we’d be in, we knew that was an incredibly ambitious goal. I’d like to think that this incredibly important award goes a long way in showing that we may have achieved that audacious dream. Everyone knows how incredibly talented, funny, smart - and distinct - each of the Baronesses are, and they are truly deserving of this honour. I know they would also be the first to say that this award is shared with our incredible team of writers, directors, editors, cast and crew who have dedicated so much to making Baroness the incredible success it is.” FRANCOPHONE PRIZE: MAMMOUTH 2019 (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse, Co-Host) – "By celebrating MAMMOUTH, you give a ​ voice on TV to those teenagers. You give them the right to tell you what inspires them. It's very important. Thank you." ROGERS PRIZE FOR EXCELLENCE IN CANADIAN CONTENT: Baroness von Sketch Show (Jamie Brown, CEO & Executive Producer, Frantic Films) – “Thankfully, there are ​ sometimes second chances in life. Last year, I was so caught off guard when they announced we won this award, I forgot to thank Rogers and Robin Mirsky – ughh. We are so thrilled to have won this award, and I’m especially happy as it gave me a second chance to thank Robin and Rogers for this incredible recognition! I’d also like to thank CBC, CMF, everyone at Frantic, our incredible production and post teams, and of course the incredibly talented Baronesses.” GRAND JURY PRIZE: Two Brothers Pictures – “We are ​ beyond thrilled that Fleabag has won the Grand Jury Prize at the BANFF Rockie Awards. Although it was one of the funniest scripts we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, Fleabag is also one of the most romantic, sexy, heart-breaking, smart and devastating programmes on television; which only proves the genius of the Phoebe and the phenomenal cast.” .

  • The Baronesses from IFC's 'Baroness Von Sketch Show'
    Take Five: The Baronesses From IFC's 'Baroness von Sketch Show' 08.02.2017 With Key & Peele over and Inside Amy Schumer on indefinite hiatus, there's been a severe lack of sketch comedy on TV. Thankfully, IFC's Baroness von Sketch Show is coming to fill the void. Already a massive success in Canada, the all-female sketch show arrives stateside August 2 at 10 p.m. ET on IFC. With a lightning quick pace and a focus on grounded situations torn from everyday life as a woman, it fits perfectly alongside IFC's "slightly off" brand aesthetic. Before the premiere, Daily Brief had a chance to sit down and chat with the Baronesses themselves: co-creators, stars, writers and executive producers Carolyn Taylor, Meredith MacNeill, Aurora Browne and Jennifer Whalen. Daily Brief: I heard you weren't part of an existing ensemble before the show, which is unique. How did you come together and what was that process like? Aurora Browne: We've known each other for many, many years. Carolyn Taylor: Three of us have known each other for a long time. Meredith MacNeill: I'm the newbie. Browne: Yeah, it's only been six years. MacNeill: Wait, it's been six years? No. I didn't meet Carolyn until 2012. So, five years. Jennifer Whalen: It's getting there. Taylor: Not to be like "one of the things I'm good at," but, one of the things I'm good at is chemistry. Knowing Aurora from Second City, she's a stellar actor, and knowing Jen was a stellar improviser and writer, it was a no-brainer to bring them in.
