Why the Canadian Screen Awards cancellation is so crushing for a gigantic, ever-threatened industry GlobeArts

), film festivals , sports leagues , and even Disneyland decide to press pause, the only choice the CSAs were left with was no choice at all.

"In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian Academy is deeply saddened to announce the cancellation of all Canadian Screen Week activities in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, including the national broadcast gala," the ACCT said in a statement."Following a thorough review of Canadian Screen Week events and an assessment of the potential risk to our attendees, we feel this is the only responsible decision at this time.

The ACCT did what they had to do and should be applauded for it, even if that applause is of the polite-Canadian variety. Yet at a moment when Canadian artists need all the recognition they can get – when their existence is threatened by an increasingly over-saturated global marketplace, aided by easier and cheaper ways to access that content – the impact is crushing all the same. We will likely see ripple effects of this week’s wave of domestic cancellations for years afterward.

So while the CSAs are still working themselves into becoming a household name, the impact of winning an award, let alone the chance to receive the statuette on live television, can help fast-track an artist’s career. The boost would have been especially welcome and deserving for this year’s crop of film nominees, given that the group is one of the strongest since the CSAs came into existence.
