As award season continues undeterred by the ongoing pandemic, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television has released the nominee list for its 9th annual Canadian Screen Awards.

In all, there will be 141 awards (excluding fan choice and special awards) given out during a seven-part, genre-based series of presentations streamed live on Academy.ca — as well as the Canadian Academy Twitter and YouTube channels — from Monday, May 17, 2021 through Thursday, May 20, 2021.

The Canadian Screen Awards were created in 2012 with the merger of the Gemini Awards (television) and Genie Awards (film); its first ceremony hosted by Martin Short in 2013. While nicknames for the award have included “Candy” (after the iconic comic-actor John Candy), thus far there is no official moniker such as Oscar. However, “Screenie” has been cited most often in the media.

The 2021 nominations were chosen by members of the Canadian Academy and by nominating juries, conducted virtually with representatives from the film, television and digital media industries. The membership, consisting of 2,375 members, will cast their votes between Tuesday, March 30, 2021 and Friday, April 16, 2021 to determine the winners.

“As we look forward to brighter days, we are honored to celebrate the momentous achievements of the 2021 Canadian Screen Award nominees and their creative works with Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast,” Beth Janson, CEO, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television said in a statement.

The list of nominees in the documentary, reality, lifestyle and factual genres are listed below, with credits supplied by the Academy. For a full list of nominees, click here:
