11th Canadian Screen Awards
The 11th Canadian Screen Awards are slated to take place on April 16, 2023 to honour achievements in Canadian film, television and digital media production in 2022.[1] The television broadcast on April 16 will be a prerecorded special hosted by Samantha Bee, featuring the presentation of top categories; as in prior years, most awards will be presented in a series of Canadian Screen Week presentations over the week prior to the main ceremony, with some highlights included in the main broadcast.[2] However, the decision to present the awards in a pretaped special rather than a live gala has drawn some criticism from several actors and filmmakers.[3]

Category changes
In August 2022, the Academy announced that it will discontinue its past practice of presenting gendered awards for film and television actors and actresses; beginning in 2023, gender-neutral awards for Best Performance will be presented, with eight nominees per category instead of five.[6] Some of the other acting categories, notably those for guest performance, youth performance in children's programming, television films and web series performance were already gender-neutral.[7]
Other changes will include the introduction of new categories for Best Original Music in a Documentary, Best Original Song in Television, Best Picture Editing - Children's or Youth and Best Writing - Pre-School, the splitting of television music and sound categories from a simple fiction/non-fiction distinction into several new categories for particular genres of fiction and non-fiction programming, and the introduction of a revised jury process for the John Dunning Best First Feature Award.
