Awards & Winners

Golden Reel Award

Genie Awards

The Golden Reel Award is a Canadian film award, presented to the Canadian film with the biggest box office gross of the year. The Canadian Motion Picture Distributors Association introduced this award in 1976 as part of the Canadian Film Awards until 1979. Since 1980, the Golden Reel has been part of the Genie Awards ceremonies. As the economics of Canadian film production mean that the year's top-grossing Canadian film is often a francophone film from Quebec, the award often — although not always — goes to the same film as the Billet d'or, which is presented by the Jutra Awards to the top-grossing film from Quebec.
