Meanwhile, the Winnipeg-set absurdist dramedy 'Universal Language' leads the film races with 13 nominations, including for best film, best directing and best original screenplay.

Matthew Rankin's 'Universal Language' tops the film contenders a month after winning a $50,000 prize from the Toronto Film Critics Association. Its Screen Award tally makes it the third-most nominated film ever, tying with 'Mommy' in 2015. It competes for the best film trophy against 'The Apprentice,' 'Darkest Miriam,' 'Gamma Rays,' 'Village Keeper' and 'Who Do I Belong To.' 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent' will vie for best drama series against CBC's 'Allegiance' and 'Bones of Crows,' Hollywood Suite's 'Potluck Ladies' and CTV's 'Sight Unseen.'
