The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television have released the nominations for the 2021 Canadian Screen Awards. This year's version won't have the huge crowds of past ceremonies but should be more lively than the 2020 version.
The 3 Canadian TV shows with the most nominations are also having their finale on the stage that is the Canadian Screen Awards. Schitt's Creek goes out with 21 nominations. Cardinal (CTV) and Trickster (CBC) each have 15 nominations.
On the film side, Blood Quantum has the most nominations with 10. Unfortunately, best picture is not one of them. Funny Boy came in with 9 nominations, including Best Motion Picture. Charles Officer's Akilla's Escape had 8 nominations. Beans and Violation had 5 nominations.
We are trying something different in 2021. Canadian television and Canadian film deserve to have their own individual stories, listing the wonderful nominations. You can click the options at the bottom of the page.
CBC will have a lot of holes to fill in the 2021-2022 television schedule
