[1] The ceremony was broadcast on CHUM Limited's terrestrial Citytv and Access Alberta networks, as well as on the cable channels Bravo!
[2] The film Seducing Doctor Lewis garnered the most nominations with 11 nods,[2] although it was virtually shut out on the night of the ceremony, winning only the award for Best Cinematography.
[3] Denys Arcand's The Barbarian Invasions was the night's big winner,[4] winning six awards including Best Picture.
Arcand joked, however, that he had won only because neither David Cronenberg nor Atom Egoyan had a film in competition.
[4] Sarah Polley's Best Actress win for My Life Without Me was the only one of the six top awards not won by The Barbarian Invasions.
