Canadian Screen Award
The Canadian Screen Award ( French: Les prix Écrans canadiens ) is a film and television prize awarded annually in Canada since 2013 by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television (ACCT), a non-profit organization founded in 1979 .
The prize was created by amalgamating the Genie Awards for film productions previously awarded by the Academy and the Gemini Awards for television productions. The award is comparable to the US Golden Globe Award due to the composition of film and television . Due to the large number of categories (22 for films, over 75 for programs) it can also be equated with the Oscar and the Emmy .
