The 13th Canadian Screen Awards will be presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television from 30 May to 1 June 2025, to honour achievements in Canadian film, television and digital media production in 2024.^[1] The main gala will be held on 1 June, hosted by comedian Lisa Gilroy, and be broadcast live on CBC Gem.^[2]

Nominees were announced on March 26.^[3] Universal Language received the most nominations in film categories with 13, while Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent topped the field in television categories with 20 nominations.^[4]

Ceremony information

The 2025 ceremony will see changes to its scheduling and broadcasting arrangements; the Canadian Screen Week programme of events prior to the main gala (including non-televised ceremonies for technical and genre categories) has been consolidated and reduced to two days (30 and 31 May).^[5] After multiple ceremonies in which television coverage was limited to an hour-long virtual ceremony or tape delayed highlights special on CBC Television, it was announced that live coverage of the ceremony would return, airing on CBC's streaming platform CBC Gem.^[5]

Category changes

Film

• The eligibility criteria for films, which were dropped to a minimum of four commercial screenings at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on film distribution in 2020, were increased to five commercial screenings.^[6]
• Due to evidence that some first-time film directors have mistakenly overlooked submitting their films for the John Dunning Best First Feature Award in the past, first-time film directors will now be automatically considered in that category regardless of whether they had actively submitted for it or not.^[6]
• Minor technical changes were also added to the eligibility criteria for Best Original Score and Best Art Direction or Production Design.^[6]

Television

• Actors who played the same character in a series of television films will now be considered for the series performance categories instead of the television film performance categories.^[6]
• People credited as contributing writers will now be eligible to be included in writing nominations.^[6]
• The categories for Best Talk Series, Best Entertainment News Series and Best Morning Show will be collapsed into a single new category for Best Talk or Entertainment News Series.^[6]
• The category for Best Performing Arts Program will be discontinued, with programs in that category now eligible for either Best TV Movie or Best Variety and Entertainment Special.^[6]
• The category for Best Performance in Animation will be renamed Best Voice Performance, considering voice acting across all forms of visual presentation.^[6]
• The category for Best Ensemble Performance in a Drama Series will be discontinued, although the ensemble category for comedy series will be retained.^[6]
• Minor technical changes were also introduced in music categories, as well as improved clarity about the distinction between supporting and guest performances.^[6]

Digital media

• The category for Best Live Production for Social Media will be collapsed into Best Interactive Production, and may now also submit in the television category for Best Live Entertainment Special if appropriate.^[6]
• A single merged category for Best Immersive Experience will now be presented if the number of eligible submissions in either Best Immersive Experience, Fiction or Best Immersive Experience, Non-Fiction falls below six, but separate categories will continue to be presented if submissions exceed that cutoff.^[6]

News and sports

• The separate categories for Best News Special (for pre-planned broadcasts about known news events such as elections) and Best Breaking News Special (for live coverage of unforeseen news events), which were introduced for the 12th Canadian Screen Awards but not actually presented that year, have been collapsed back down into a single category for Best Live News Special.^[6]

The first special award recipients were announced on March 5.^[7]
