Now in its sixth year, the Canadian Screen Awards Broadcast Gala caps-off a week of celebrations in Toronto honouring the Country’s very best in Film, Television and Digital Media.  Held at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, the Awards are an answer to Canada’s humility and need for a real star system.  The Gala was hosted by Jonny Harris and Emmy Hunter.

Winning top honours this year was the Aisling Walsh Film MAUDIE based on the life of Canadian folk artist Maudie Lewis starring Ethan Hawke and Sally Hawkins. The Drama won a total seven Canadian Screen Awards tonight including Best Picture, Best Director, Supporting Actor (Hawke), Best Actress (Hawkins) and more. Walsh in what was a common theme of female empowerment and inclusion in light of the #AfterMeToo movement in Canada, tells the audience, “Every woman in this room who has dreamed of directing, writing or acting in a Film, go ahead and do it!”.

CBC‘s ALIAS GRACE scored two Canadian Screen Awards including Best Limited Series or Program and Best Actress in a Drama or Limited Series (Sarah Gadon).  Based on Canadian literary icon Margaret Atwood‘s Book of the same name, tonight we saw the Author herself honoured with the Academy Board of Directors’ Tribute Award.  Atwood says “I am very lucky to work with the brightest talent including Sarah Polley. I am supporting #AfterMeToo (and what their actual mission is) and the Canadian Women’s Foundation.”.

Tying in the Television categories tonight were fellow CBC Series KIM’S CONVENIENCE and ANNE with two wins each.  The former is a Sitcom centering on a Korean-Canadian family in Toronto and their convenience shop and it won Best Comedy Series and repeated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee). The latter is based on the internationally-adored Children’s Book Series Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery and it scored for Best Drama Series and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Program or Series (R.H. Thompson).

Hochelaga, Land of Souls would take home four Canadian Screen Awards for Visual Effects, Art Direction, Cinematography and Overall Sound.

Angelina Jolie-produced Animated Feature The Breadwinner nabbed Adapted Screenplay, Music, Original Score, Sound Editing and Original Song.

Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World would win for Feature Length Documentary and Editing in Feature Length Documentary.

The Gala was a star-studded affair graced by the likes of Presenters: Kawa Ada, Shamier Anderson, Jann Arden, Adrienne Arsenault, Andrea Bang, Amanda Brugel, Billy Campbell, Nicholas Campbell, Saara Chaudry, Kim Coates, Wendy Crewson, Gerry Dee, Caroline Dhavernas, Sadaf Foroughi, Sarain Fox, Sarah Gadon, Marc-André Grondin, Allan Hawco, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Daniel Levy, Eugene Levy, Tatiana Maslany, Lisa Meeches, Amybeth McNulty, Natasha Negovanlis, Catherine O’Hara, Charles Officer, Amanda Parris, Jasmeet “JusReign” Raina, Catherine Reitman, Maxim Roy and Aurora Browne, Meredith MacNeill, Carolyn Taylor and Jennifer Whalen.

In addition to honouring the most notable Canadian productions of the past year, the Gala paid tribute to longstanding excellence.  Media personality Peter Mansbridge, known as the face of CBC‘s The National, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Adrienne Arsenault. Rick Mercer received an Icon Award from adored Singer/Songwriter Jann Arden for his work on now-concluded The Mercer Report. Actor/Director Clark Johnson was awarded the Earle Grey Award, presented by his sisters Molly and Taborah.

In addition to critical merit, popularity too was awarded at the Broadcast Gala.  The Golden Screen Award for TV Drama went to CBC‘s Murdoch Mysteries, while the Golden Screen Award for TV Reality Show was handed to CTV‘s The Amazing Race Canada. The Cineplex Golden Screen Award for Feature Film was given to De père en flic 2.

The Cogeco Fund Audience Choice Award, decided upon by fans online went to star of Webseries Carmilla, Elise Bauman, whom last year saw her Co-Star Natasha Negovanlis win the same award.

Earlier in the week, awards were handed for Excellence in Non-Fiction Storytelling, Excellence in Creative Fiction Storytelling and Excellence in Digital and Storytelling. Also, fans got to meet up-close some of their favourite stars of the Canadian productions at Family Fan Day, including the likes of Jerry O’Connell, Allan Hawco, Amybeth McNulty, Daniel Maslany, Elise Bauman, Natasha Negovanlis, Viviane Hicks, the Cast of Kim’s Convenience and many more.

His star is rising fast!  Singapore-born and Virginia-raised, 27-year-old Actor Ross Butler has been incredibly visible appearing in back-to-back hit Netflix Series RIVERDALE and 13 REASONS WHY.  The former in which he starred in the high-profile role as Reggie Mantle, later was taken over by Charles Melton as he went-on to fulfill commitments on the latter equally-acclaimed Series as Zach Dempsey.

Butler has been in Toronto on the set of DC Comics‘ SHAZAM and appears he’s hard at work getting his strong physique to the next level alongside From Dusk till Dawn star D.J. Cotrona. We ran into Butler outside a Starbucks by surprise and he was so amazingly-nice to stop for a quick Snap. His Trucker Cap was a give away as we remember seeing him in it on Social Media! He’s so tall.. and dashing!

DJ Khaled‘s success story has long been in the making. Since releasing his debut Studio Disc in 2006, the Producer, DJ and Rapper has shown incredible longevity which has garnered him many awards, including two GRAMMY nominations.

His 2017 tenth studio disc Grateful spawned hit singles Shining ft. Beyoncé and Jay-Z and also Wild Thoughts ft. Rihanna and Bryson Tiller, the latter a Billboard Hot 100 number two-charting single. Above this he was featured prominently in Pitch Perfect 3 late last year.

Father of Asahd is the title of DJ Khaled‘s 2018 disc and it is led by new single Top Off ft. Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Future.

Check it out:

A spokesperson for Weight Watchers as he supports Demi Lovato on her Tell Me You Love Me Tour at Air Canada Centre along with Kehlani, he did a surprise appearance at Roundhouse Park. Appearing together with Chef Melissa, his own personal cook, he promoted his favourite Weight Watcher’s Freestyle  recipes including chocolate chip cookies, chicken lettuce wraps and more.

Braving the cold, he came out to greet hundreds of his adoring fans who swarmed him while he broadcast it on his Instagram story.
