EspañolCANADIAN FILM AWARD
The 'Canadian Film Awards' were the leading Canadian cinema awards from 1949 until 1979.
In 1968, a bronze award statuette was designed by sculptor Sorel Etrog and the award was often referred to as an 'Etrog'. The awards were formally renamed Genie Awards in 1980. [1]
With only a handful of Canadian films released each year they were generally a small affair. In several years no film was found to merit the best picture award. The awards were also almost totally dominated by the National Film Board. ''Globe and Mail'' film critic Jay Scott described them as "honours given by presenters no one knew, to recipients no one recognized, to films no one had seen."
