Canada’s most significant evening celebrating film, television, and digital storytelling attracted popular fashion icons, emerging talents, and industry legends to the prestigious Canadian Screen Awards on Sunday. Notable personalities like Hudson Williams from “Heated Rivalry,” Mae Martin from “Wayward,” Anna Lambe from “North of North,” and the recipient of the Academy Icon Award, Mike Myers, graced the event.
The 2026 Canadian Screen Awards, hosted by comedian Andrew Phung of “Kim’s Convenience,” was a grand finale to the Canadian Screen Week festivities. A noteworthy change this year was the introduction of a new regulation restricting awards eligibility to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, disqualifying some leads from highly acclaimed shows and movies like Connor Storrie from “Heated Rivalry” and Barbie Ferreira from “Mile End Kicks.”
Despite the eligibility criteria shift, the red carpet continued to be a significant platform for showcasing Canadian fashion, with stars showcasing outfits from local designers as well as renowned international brands. The event was live-streamed on CBC Gem and the CBC YouTube channel.
