Amandas Awards and Nominations

 

A busy working life like Amanda Tapping's doesn’t go unnoticed, of course. The tireless director and actress has been honored with numerous awards and nominations over the years of her work. And despite the honors she has received, Amanda is still nice, natural, and grounded. Just a person like you and me.

"I know I sound like Pollyanna here, but you have to find joy in what you're doing, otherwise there's no creative process and no one feels creative around you if you don't create a happy atmosphere. If you're having fun on set , people around you will react. I am truly blessed to love what I do and it is a joy to have amazing people to work with."
