The awards recognize those whose contributions have positively affected the industry, society and the medium. In total, the Academy named nine recipients ahead of Canadian Screen Awards week, which this year takes place in Toronto from April 11-16.
“Receiving this honor is incredibly meaningful and deeply moving,” Reynolds said in a statement. “Particularly given the fact it’s grounded in so many of the values I acquired from my home country of Canada. I’m grateful to the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television for including me in this prestigious honor, and I’m excited to accept the award in person this April.”
“I’m grateful to the Canadian Academy for this tremendous honor and vow to continue pushing on towards a more diverse and equitable screen,” Liu said. Other winners included “Cityline” host Tracy Moore, who was awarded the Changemaker Award for her commitment to diversity and inclusion; Anishinaabe/Ashkenazi actor, writer, director and producer Jennifer Podemski, who received the Academy Board of Directors’ Tribute; actor Peter MacNeill, who received the Earle Grey Award; and journalist Pierre Bruneau, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
