The Porter dominated last year's Canadian Screen Awards on the Canadian television and unfortunately has been mostly forgotten. We hope the same fate won't hit Little Bird, the big winner on the television side of the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards.
The Crave/APTN show won 11 awards earlier in the week and 2 big awards last night. The show won best drama, best ensemble performance in a drama, Darla Contois and Braeden Clarke for acting awards, and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers for best direction for a drama series for her work on the first episode, Love is all Around.
U.S. viewers can watch Little Bird through PBS.
Sort Of, from Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, ended its run with 4 awards: best direction, photography and picture editing of a comedy, as well as best original song.
Bria Mack Gets A Life won for Best Comedy Series, beating out 4 really good shows we know. Letterkenny won best ensemble performance in a comedy.
Meaghan Rath and Ennis Esmer won the acting awards for a comedy for Children Ruin Everything on CTV. Yet the comedy didn't make the cut for Best Comedy Series.
Mae Martin, host of last night's ceremony, won the award for best guest performance in a comedy for their stint in I Have Nothing (Crave). Daniel Maslany won best guest performance on Transplant (CTV). His sister Tatiana has a lot more of those awards on her mantle.
Winners are marked with a + sign.
