1st Canadian Screen Awards


The 1st Canadian Screen Awards were held on March 3, 2013, to honour achievements in Canadian film and television production in 2012. This was the first-ever Canadian Screen Awards ceremony, following the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television's decision, announced in 2012, to merge its formerly separate Genie Awards and Gemini Awards into a single ceremony. In addition, the Canadian Screen Awards include awards for achievements in digital media.
Nominations were announced on January 15, 2013. The awards ceremony was hosted by Martin Short.
