TORONTO - For the creators of the Canadian cross-border high-school hit "Degrassi," it's like getting a ticket to the Academy Awards.

The series has been nominated for a best-drama award from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation in the U.S. for a groundbreaking season that introduced a teenage transgender character.

"For the people in this building, it's almost like getting nominated for an Emmy or an Oscar," Stefan Brogren, who acts, directs and produces on the series, said Thursday in Toronto.
