Gemini Awards

The Gemini Awards were awards given by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television to recognize the achievements of Canada's television industry. First held in 1986 to replace the ACTRA Award, the ceremony celebrated Canadian television productions with awards in 87 categories, along with other special awards such as lifetime achievement awards. In April 2012, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television announced that the Gemini Awards and the Genie Awards would be discontinued and replaced by a new award ceremony dedicated to all forms of Canadian media, including television, film, and digital media. On September 4, 2012, the Academy officially announced that the new ceremony would be known as the Canadian Screen Awards, and be held for the first time on March 4, 2013. The Geminis covered only English-language productions. The Academy also organizes a separate awards show for French productions known as the Prix GÃ©meaux.
