Ceremony information

For the third consecutive year, the in-person awards gala was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Unlike the previous two ceremonies, the Canadian Screen Awards would return to CBC Television, airing an hour-long special on 10 April 2022 to present the awards in top categories. The special was hosted by the sketch comedy troupe TallBoyz.[3]

The awards in non-televised genre and technical categories were presented via a series of virtual Canadian Screen Week presentations, beginning with broadcast news, documentary, and factual awards on 4 April, sports and digital on 5 April; children's, animation, lifestyle and reality on 6 April, television craft and performance on 7 April, and cinematic arts on 8 April.[2]

Category presenters included Catherine O'Hara, Tatiana Maslany, Sidney Crosby, Ron MacLean, Jonathan and Drew Scott, Arisa Cox, Andrew Phung and Priyanka.[4] Actor Simu Liu also appeared in sketches with TallBoyz. The advance Canadian Screen Week presentations were hosted by Brandon Gonez, Sangita Patel, Jennifer Hedger, Supinder Wraich, Deepa Prashad, Mary Berg, Akiel Julien, Ennis Esmer and Laurence Leboeuf.[5]

Audience awards

Nominees for the fan-voted Audience Choice award were announced on February 1.[7] Although normally individual actors or personalities are nominated in the category, in 2022 the academy chose to honour shows.

The audience choice award was actually won by a show that had not been officially listed as one of the ten nominees;[7] the process for this category does permit "write-in" campaigns.[7]

Reception

Reviewing the film nominations, Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail characterized them as "the perfect slate", on the grounds that they had struck an excellent balance between the traditional tensions around whether an award nomination slate should celebrate films that are already relatively well-known or highlight underrated work that merits further attention.[8]
