Colleen Rush Biography & Facts

The 12th Canadian Screen Awards is an upcoming ceremony, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, to honour achievements in Canadian film, television and digital media production in 2023. They are scheduled to be held at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto from 28–31 May 2024, as part of Canadian Screen Week, with highlights of the final gala ceremony to be broadcast in a CBC Television special on 31 May 2024. Nominations were announced on March 6. The film BlackBerry, which documented the rise and fall of the BlackBerry phone, broke the record for the most nominations for a film in the history of the Canadian Screen Awards, with 17 nominations. Ceremony information Due to venue availability issues in Toronto, the ceremony was delayed from a provisional April scheduling to May 2024. In addition, the ceremonies will be held at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre rather than Meridian Hall as in past years. To streamline the event, the ceremony for children's and animated programming was discontinued, with its awards dispersed into the six remaining ceremonies. In response to criticism over the format of CBC Television's presentation of the 11th Canadian Screen Awards, the Academy announced that a television special focusing upon the final gala would air May 31 following the in-person ceremony. As with the previous year's ceremony, the special will remain tape delayed and condensed into a one-hour format. Academy CEO Tammy Frick stated that broadcasting the special on the same day as the final gala (as opposed to the Sunday afterward) would help preserve its "energy" and immediacy, while still allowing time to edit out "industry-heavy elements" that may not be interesting to television audiences. Category changes Film The Best Lead Performance in a Film and Best Supporting Performance in a Film categories were split into separate categories for comedy and drama films.
