Canadian Screen Award

27th Canadian Film Awards

The ceremony was hosted by Lorne Greene, and was held at the conclusion of the inaugural 1976 Toronto International Film Festival, 1976 Festival of Festivals.

It was eventually agreed that the two sides would take turns hosting the awards. To shore up public support, there was an increased PR campaign and Canadian Television Network, CTV aired a one-hour broadcast of the awards ceremony. After pre-selection, total submissions to the jury were 171 films, including 17 features and 76 documentaries.

Eliza's Horoscope
''Eliza's Horoscope'' is a 1975 Canadian feature from Gordon Sheppard, one of the most enigmatic features made in Canada.

Hefner invited him to the Chicago Playboy Club to discuss the idea, and though he ultimately wasn't interested, this visit led to Sheppard meeting Elizabeth Moorman, who was working as a Playboy Bunny at the Chicago ...

Stoddart Publishing, 2000. . pp. 111-114. The ceremony was hosted by Peter Gzowski. Due to the Quebec boycott crisis which protested the treatment of films from Quebec at the 25th Canadian Film Awards in 1973, and the resulting cancellation of the awards in 1974, the 1975 awards covered films released in both 1974 and 1975. Accordingly, the Canadian Film Awards committee revived the Film of the Year category, which had not been used since 1970, so that it could name separate Best Picture winners for both 1974 and 1975. In all other categories, however, separate winners were not named for the two years. Winners Films *Film of the Year (1974): '' The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz'' — John Kemeny *Film of the Year (1975): ''Orders (Les Ordres)'' — Gui Caron, Bernard Lalonde *Fea ...
