The Canadian Screen Awards, the prominent event in Canada celebrating film, TV, and digital storytelling, showcased a gathering of fashion favorites, rising stars, and industry veterans on Sunday night. Among the notable personalities gracing the red carpet at the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards were Hudson Williams from “Heated Rivalry,” Mae Martin from “Wayward,” Anna Lambe from “North of North,” and the recipient of the Academy Icon Award, Mike Myers.
Comedian and “Kim’s Convenience” star Andrew Phung hosted the ceremony, which marked the culmination of Canadian Screen Week festivities and was available for streaming on CBC Gem and the CBC YouTube channel. A notable change this year was the introduction of a new rule restricting awards to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, rendering some lead actors from acclaimed shows ineligible for recognition, such as Connor Storrie from “Heated Rivalry” and Barbie Ferreira from “Mile End Kicks.”
Despite the altered eligibility criteria, Canadian talent continued to shine brightly at the event, solidifying the Canadian Screen Awards red carpet as a significant platform for showcasing Canadian fashion. Celebrities graced the red carpet in ensembles ranging from local and independent designers to renowned international labels, making a statement with their unique styles.
