For this year, CTV had negotiated to serve as broadcaster and the academy formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, ACCTV Productions, to independently produce its show. In the months leading up to the event, CTV extensively promoted the awards, and broadcaster Brian Linehan and a film crew traveled to Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal, shooting vignettes about Canadian films and filmmaking.[2]
The ceremony was broadcast from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.[3] There was no overall host, but actor Al Waxman introduced and concluded the show. Linehan hosted his vignettes and each Best Picture nominees was given a two-minute clip.[4][3]
The awards were dominated by Denys Arcand's Jésus de Montréal, which won 13 of the 16 awards for which it was nominated.[1] However, CTV failed to persuade its regional affiliate stations to broadcast the ceremony.[5] Ratings plummeted, with only half as many people (460,000) watching, compared to the previous year.[5] This prompted a complete re-evaluation and restructuring of the Genie Awards.
