The awards were originally named the [[Canadian Film Awards]] (also known as the "Etrog Awards," for sculptor [[Sorel Etrog]], who designed the statuette) which ran from [[1949]] to [[1979]] but in [[1980]] were renamed The Genie Awards. [http://www.academy.ca/awards/genie.cfm] Genie Award candidates are selected from submissions made by the owners of Canadian films or their representatives, based on the criteria laid out in the Genie Rules and Regulations booklet which is distributed to Academy members and industry members. Peer-group juries, assembled from volunteer members of the Academy, meet to screen the submissions and select a group of nominees. Academy members then vote on these nominations. The Genie Awards were originally aired on the [[CBC Television|CBC]] from [[1979]] to [[2003]], before moving to [[CHUM Limited]]'s networks ([[Citytv]], [[Bravo!]] and [[Star!]]). Since [[CTVglobemedia]] purchased CHUM Limited, the Genie Awards have moved to [[Canwest Global]]'s [[E! (Canada)|E]] and [[Independent Film Channel (Canada)|IFC]] for [[2008]]. == Awards == * [[Genie Award for Best Motion Picture|Best Motion Picture]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role|Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role|Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role|Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role|Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Direction|Best Achievement in Direction]] * [[Genie Award for Best Original Screenplay|Best Original Screenplay]] * [[Genie Award for Best Adapted Screenplay|Best Adapted Screenplay]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Cinematography|Best Achievement in Cinematography]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Art Direction/Production Design|Best Achievement in Art Direction/Production Design]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Costume Design|Best Achievement in Costume Design]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Editing|Best Achievement in Editing]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Overall Sound|Best Achievement in Overall Sound]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Sound Editing|Best Achievement in Sound Editing]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Music - Original Song|Best Achievement in Music - Original Song]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Music - Original Score|Best Achievement in Music - Original Score]] * [[Genie Award for Best Animated Short|Best Animated Short]] * [[Genie Award for Best Live Action Short Drama|Best Live Action Short Drama]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by a Foreign Actor|Best Performance by a Foreign Actor]] * [[Genie Award for Best Performance by a Foreign Actress|Best Performance by a Foreign Actress]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Film Editing|Best Achievement in Film Editing]] * [[Genie Award for Best Music Score|Best Music Score]] * [[Genie Award for Best Achievement in Sound|Best Achievement in Sound]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding TV Drama Under 30 Minutes|Outstanding TV Drama Under 30 Minutes]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Independent Film|Outstanding Independent Film]] * [[Genie Award for Outsntaing Performance by an Actor (Non-Feature)|Outstanding Performance by an Actor (Non-Feature)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress (Non-Feature)|Outstanding Performance by an Actress (Non-Feature)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Art Direction (Non-Feature)|Outstanding Art Direction (Non-Feature)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Cinematography in a Dramatic Film (Non-Feature)|Outstanding Cinematography in a Dramatic Film (Non-Feature)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Cinematography in a Documentary (Non-Feature Film)|Outstanding Cinematography in a Documentary (Non-Feature Film)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Editing in a Dramatic Film (Non-Feature)|Outstanding Editing in a Dramatic Film (Non-Feature)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Original Music Score (Non-Feature Film)|Outstanding Original Music Score (Non-Feature Film)]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Non-Dramatic Script|Outstanding Non-Dramatic Script]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Screenplay|Outstanding Screenplay]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Sound in a Non-Feature Film|Outstanding Sound in a Non-Feature Film]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Documentary - 30 Minutes and Under|Outstanding Documentary - 30 Minutes and Under]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Documentary - 30 Minutes and Over|Outstanding Documentary - 30 Minutes and Over]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Animation|Outstanding Animation]] * [[Genie Award for Outstanding Theatrical Short|Outstanding Theatical Short]] * [[Genie Award for Best Theatrical Documentary|Best Theatrical Documentary]] * [[Genie Award for Best Screenplay Adapted From Another Medium|Best Screenplay Adapted From Another Medium]] * [[Genie Award for Best Feature Length Documentary|Best Feature Length Documentary]] * [[Genie Award for Best Short Documentary|Best Short Documentary]] * [[Genie Award for Best Short Film|Best Short Film]] * [[Genie Award for Best Documentary|Best Documentary]] == Special Achievement Genie == The [[Special Achievement Genie]] is an award given irregularly to an individual or individuals in recognition of lifetime achievement or an important career milestone. ==External links== *[http://www.genieawards.ca/ Official Genie Awards website] *[http://www.academy.ca/ Official Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television website] {{GenieAwards}} {{CinemaofCanada}} [[Category:Awards established in 1979]] [[Category:Genie Awards|*]] [[de:Genie Award]] [[fr:Prix Génie]] [[nl:Genie (filmprijs)]] [[ja:ジニー賞]] [[pl:Genie]] [[ru:Джинн (кинопремия)]]
