The Grey Fox was the event's big winner, with seven awards including Best Picture.[2] The film also topped the overall nomination count, with 13 nominations.[3]
In the category for Best Screenplay Adapted from Another Medium, the award to Richard Paluck and Robert Guza Jr. for Melanie was later rescinded, as the short story on which the screenplay was based had not been previously published.[4] But this year's event was one of the most successful ever, with a sold-out theatre audience and a record 1.5 million Canadian television viewers.[5]
