Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress
The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television presents an annual award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role to the best performance by a lead actress in a Canadian film.[1] The award was first presented in 1968 by the Canadian Film Awards, and was presented annually until 1978 with the exception of 1969, when no eligible feature films were submitted for award consideration, and 1974 due to the cancellation of the awards that year.
From 1980 until 2012, the award was presented as part of the Genie Awards ceremony; since 2013, it has been presented as part of the Canadian Screen Awards.
From 1980 to 1983, only Canadian actresses were eligible for the award; non-Canadian actresses appearing in Canadian films were instead considered for the separate Genie Award for Best Performance by a Foreign Actress.[2] After 1983, the latter award was discontinued, and from 1986 both Canadian and foreign actresses were eligible for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role.[3]

gollark: Well, heav has been entirely nonexistent on all platforms I can reach them on. So maybe they should be shifted to absentee status somehow.
gollark: We obviously need more servers and an internal Wireguard network.
gollark: Nobody uses it so I just turned it off.
gollark: Oh, yes, sometimes I randomly connect arbitrary osmarksßservers™ as APIONET nodes. This is probably unnecessary.
gollark: What are you doing?
