Nominations were announced by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television on February 7, 2019. [2] Early coverage of the nominations highlighted the fact that the Best Picture category consisted entirely of French-language films from Quebec, with not a single English-language film named in the category. [3] This was also the first year that the ceremony did not have a host. [4]

Ceremony

The awards in many of the technical and craft categories were presented in a series of advance Canadian Screen Week galas in the week before the main ceremony. [1] The gala for non-fiction programming was held on March 26, [5] the gala for creative fiction storytelling was held on March 27, [6] the gala for digital production was held on March 28, [7] and the gala for film craft categories was held in the afternoon of March 31. [8]

The broadcast ceremony had no overall host, with the academy clarifying that the decision was made before the Academy Awards made the same announcement. [4] The ceremony did, however, included pretaped comedy segments from performers such as the casts of Baroness von Sketch Show and Letterkenny , as well as a short welcome introduction by actor Andrew Phung and drag queen Tynomi Banks. [9]

In film, The Great Darkened Days (La grande noirceur) was the year's big winner with five awards, although the Best Picture award went to A Colony (Une colonie). [10] In television, the drama series Anne with an E and Cardinal tied for the most wins, with seven awards each. [10]
