Canadian film awards (1980–2012)
The Genie Awards were given out annually by the
Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to recognize the best of
Canadian cinema from 1980–2012. They succeeded the
Canadian Film Awards (1949–1978) known as the "Etrog Awards" for sculptor
Sorel Etrog , who designed its statuette.

Genie Award candidates were selected from submissions made by the owners of Canadian films or their representatives, based on the criteria laid out in the Genie Rules and Regulations booklet which is distributed to Academy members and industry members. Peer-group juries, assembled from volunteer members of the Academy, meet to screen the submissions and select a group of nominees. Academy members then vote on these nominations.
In 2012, the Academy announced that the Genies would merge with its sister presentation for English-language television, the
Gemini Awards , to form a new award presentation, the
Canadian Screen Awards .

Broadcasting
The Genie Awards were aired by
CBC from 1980 to 2003, before moving to
