Film of the Year | The Best Damn Fiddler from Calabogie to Kaladar |
The most historically unusual characteristic of the 1969 Canadian Film Awards was that not a single theatrical feature film was entered into competition.[2] Several theatrical films whose directors had intended to submit them to the awards committee were not completed by the submission deadline, and a few feature films which had been submitted were deemed not of award-worthy quality.[2] The award for Film of the Year was presented to the television film The Best Damn Fiddler from Calabogie to Kaladar, but the awards were otherwise presented solely in the non-feature categories.[3]

gollark: ... yes it does?
