Actors questioning Canadian Screen Awards move to pre-taped format | CBC NewsWhile awards will be handed out in-person for the first time since the pandemic, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television announced earlier this month that the traditional live broadcast, which honours the best in film and television, will be replaced with a pre-taped telecast hosted by Samantha Bee. i think it's important that worthless celebrities stop congratulating each other in a performative circlejerk, and having it broadcast to the masses. The artists do deserve kudos... unfortunately, the appetite for awards shows has waned and only a few are interested in Canadian content.
