The Canadian Film Awards were the leading Canadian cinema awards from 1949 until 1978. These honours were conducted annually, except in 1974 when Quebec directors withdrew their participation and prompted a cancellation.〔 The awards were taken over by the Academy of Canadian Cinema, and formally renamed the Genie Awards, in 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 accessdate=2009-01-26 )〕 ==History== The award was first established in 1949 by the Canadian Association for Adult Education, under a steering committee that included the National Film Board's James Beveridge, the Canadian Foundation's Walter Herbert, filmmaker F. R. Crawley, the National Gallery of Canada's Donald Buchanan and diplomat Graham McInnes.〔 The initial jury consisted of Hye Bossin, managing editor of Canadian Film Weekly; M. Stein of Famous Players; CBC film critic Gerald Pratley; Moira Armour of the Toronto and Vancouver Film societies; and Ian MacNeill from CAAE.〔 The first presentation was held on April 27, 1949 at the Little Elgin Theatre in Ottawa.〔 With only a handful of Canadian films released each year, they were generally a small affair. In several years no film was found to merit the best picture award.〔 The awards were also almost totally dominated by the National Film Board. ''Globe and Mail'' film critic Jay Scott described them as "honours given by presenters no one knew, to recipients no one recognized, to films no one had seen." In 1968, a bronze award statuette was designed by sculptor Sorel Etrog and the award was often referred to as an Etrog Award.〔 Two special awards, the John Grierson Award for outstanding contribution to Canadian cinema and the Wendy Michener Award for outstanding artistic achievement, were also added in later years.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Film Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
