Genie Awards are given out to recognize the best of Canadian cinema by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television. The awards were originally named the Canadian Film Awards (also know as the "Etrog Awards," for sculptor Sorel Etrog, who designed the statuette) which ran from 1949 to 1979 but in 1980 were renamed The Genie Awards. [1]

Genie Award candidates are selected from submissions made by the owners of Canadian films or their representatives, based on the criteria laid out in the Genie Rules and Regulations booklet which is distributed to Academy members and industry members. Peer-group juries, assembled from volunteer members of the Academy, meet to screen the submissions and select a group of nominees. Academy members then vote on these nominations.

The Genie Awards were originally aired on the CBC from 1979 to 2003, before moving to CHUM Limited's networks (Citytv, Bravo! and Star!). Since CTVglobemedia is purchasing CHUM Limited, it is rumoured for CTV to air the Genies in 2008.

The Special Achievement Genie is an award given irregularly to an individual or individuals in recognition of lifetime achievement or an important career milestone.
