Sort Of would seemingly get a good send-off in its last time at the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards. The show received 18 nominations honouring Canadian television. However, the show itself and star/co-creator Bilal Baig didn't receive nominations.
Sort Of did get 3 supporting nominations for Amanda Cordner, Ellora Patnaik, and Supinder Wraich.
Little Bird had the most nominations with 19. The wonderful drama based on the Sixties Scoop has 2 nominations for best lead performer (Darla Contois and Ellyn Jade) and 1 for best supporting performer (Braeden Clarke).
Workin' Moms, also in its final year, picked up 12 nominations for the Catherine Reitman series.
We have new awards for best ensemble performance in a comedy and drama.
Shelved got some love, including a nod for Best Comedy Series. Pretty Hard Cases was in the comedy categories in 2023 yet shifted to drama in 2024. This is also the final year for that show.
