Canadian Screen Awards: Winners Announced For Scripted Drama, Comedy Categories

by

The Canadian Screen Awards continue throughout the week, with virtual ceremonies running through to Thursday as the Canadian Academy honours Canada’s best film and television offerings of the past year.

Winners in the Broadcast News, Sports Programming, and Documentary and Factual categories were revealed on Monday, while Tuesday delivered winners in the categories of Children’s and Youth Programming, and Lifestyle and Reality.

On Wednesday, winners were revealed in the Scripted Drama and Comedy categories, in both crafts and performance.

The Canadian Screen Awards for Crafts in Scripted Programs category was narrated by Evany Rosen & Kayla Lorette, while “Will & Grace” star Erick McCormack narrated the Scripted Programs & Performance category.

In the performance category, “Cardinal” won several awards on the drama side, while “Schitt’s Creek” dominated the comedy portion.

“Schitt’s” star Catherine O’Hara, who won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy, issued a characteristically hilarious acceptance speech:

The virtual presentations are being livestreamed on the Canadian Academy’s FacebookTwitter, and YouTube channels.
