22 February, 2002

Howard Burden - best know to Red Dwarf fans as the man that put Lister in leather, Kochanski in PVC trousers and the Cat in... well, about 238 different outfits - recently picked up a Genie Award in Canada for his work on The War Bride.

The Genie's are known in the industry as the Canadian Oscars, and The War Bride - which stars Anna Freil, Brenda Fricker, and Molly Parker - managed an impressive seven nominations including best motion picture. Howard picked up the award for achievement in costume design, while fellow War Bride-er Ken Rempel won for best art direction/production design.
