The annual celebration of the best in homegrown film, television and digital media is run by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
Traditionally, the bash has been broadcast live to home viewers but this year香蕉视频直播檚 edition aired Friday night as a one-hour show on CBC and CBC Gem, comprised of taped tributes and highlights from the two-hour gala.
In an interview earlier this week, Academy CEO Tammy Frick said the organization 香蕉视频直播渓istened香蕉视频直播� to feedback on last year香蕉视频直播檚 pre-taped telecast hosted by Samantha Bee, which was largely panned for featuring segments taped in New York well ahead of the announcement.
In the days leading up to the telecast, that experiment drew criticism from industry figures including Eugene Levy, who argued Canadian creators deserved a live celebration.
