Tune in Monday, April 4 through Sunday, April 10 to celebrate this year's CSA winners
Get out your popcorn — the biggest week of the year for Canada's screen industry is here.
With hosts and live acceptance speeches, the majority of the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards will be presented in a nine-part series of genre-based virtual shows throughout Canadian Screen Week 2022, all streamed live on Academy.ca — as well as the Canadian Academy Twitter and YouTube channels — from Monday, April 4, 2022 to Friday, April 8, 2022. The week will culminate in the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards show on CBC, CBC Gem and YouTube.com/CBC, airing Sunday, April 10 at 8 p.m. (9 AT, 9:30 NT).
With a selection of prominent categories and tributes to this year's Special Award recipients, the show will be a star-powered, creatively curated treat for fans of our homegrown entertainment, highlighting Canadian content and its notable moments that made us laugh, cry, and reflect over the past year. Featuring the talents of the multi award-winning sketch comedy troupe TallBoyz (Guled Abdi, Vance Banzo, Tim Blair, and Franco Nguyen), this promises to be an award show like you've never seen before, with an eclectic variety of artists coming together for the love of storytelling and a deep appreciation for the power of our film, television, and digital media — and everyone who enjoys it.
