10th Genie Awards

The 10th Genie Awards were held on March 22, 1989.[1] This was in the middle of a strike at the CBC, causing the ceremony to be scaled down and several nominees to boycott the awards in sympathy;[2] although the ceremony was still aired by CBC Television, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television was forced to produce the broadcast alone.[3]
