It’s nearly time again for the Canadian Screen Awards, which will take place from May 28th to 31st, 2024. This year’s crop of nominees represents stellar Canadian filmmaking.
Last year saw some changes in the acting categories. Last year, they were made gender-neutral (and the number of nominees increased to eight). This year, they have been separated into awards for comedy and drama, still with eight nominees each. The awards for Best Adapted and Best Original Screenplays, Best Director, and the John Dunning Award for Best First Feature have all been expanded to allow up to six nominees as well.
The big story this year is, of course, BlackBerry, which garnered 17 nominations -shattering the previous record, but there are a ton of great films nominated this year and many of them are available to watch.
So, without further ado, here are 37 films nominated across the major categories and where you can buy, rent, or stream them!
