The Black-led CBC and BET Plus series “The Porter” is the leading nominee with 19 nods heading into this year’s awards, including best drama series, best writing in a drama and best costume design.
Meanwhile, Toronto filmmaker Clement Virgo's feature “Brother,” which is based on the novel by David Chariandy, is the leading film nominee with 14 nods, including best motion picture and achievement in direction for Virgo. Other major contenders for best motion picture include Stéphane Lafleur’s sci-fi dystopian drama “Viking” with 13 nods, David Cronenberg’s body horror “Crimes of the Future” with 11, and Anthony Shim’s immigrant drama, “Riceboy Sleeps” with six.
Performance nods for Baig and co-star Amanda Cordner, who is up for best supporting performer in a comedy, come after the actors chose not to submit for the 2022 awards due to the gender-binary classification system at the time. On the TV news front, CTV National News with Lisa LaFlamme is up for best national newscast, competing with CBC’s The National, APTN National News, and Global National News.
