An awards luncheon for sponsored and educational films went ahead, but winners in other categories were announced at a press conference,[4] and the awards were entirely cancelled in 1974, with the 26th Canadian Film Awards not taking place until 1975.[1]Despite the boycott, several of the boycotting directors’ films were named as winners,[4] although Carle’s win of the Wendy Michener Award, for “outstanding contribution to the Canadian Film Awards and the Canadian film industry”, was booed in the theatre.[5] But English-language filmmakers felt betrayed and angry, and producers and film distributors from Quebec, dissociated themselves from the directors’ move.[4][1]Best Picture controversy[edit]The awards faced further controversy when Slipstream was announced as the winner of the award for Best Feature Film.[4] The film’s Best Feature Film win, over Kamouraska, R\u00e9jeanne Padovani, Paperback Hero and Between Friends, was widely derided by critics.[1]The Globe and Mail film critic Betty Lee acknowledged that the film showed some promise on Acomba’s part, but concluded that it “sags embarrassingly under its weight of honors”.[6] In its December 1973 year in review, the paper named it as the worst film of the year and singled out the Canadian Film Awards for a special “Grand Prix for General All-Around Stupidity”, both for choosing Slipstream as Best Picture over four much stronger nominees and for giving the Michener Award to Carle.[7] Its victory was later cited as an indication that the boycotting directors had been correct in their beliefs that the Canadian Film Awards had a systemic bias against Quebec films.[8]Winners[edit]Faire hurler les murs \u2014 Office du film du Qu\u00e9bec, Jean Saulnier director[12]Theatrical Short: Goodbye Sousa \u2014 National Film Board of Canada, George Pearson producer, Tony Ianzelo director[13]Animated: The Family That Dwelt Apart \u2014 National Film Board of Canada, Wolf Koenig producer, Yvon Mallette director[14]TV Drama: The Sloane Affair \u2014 National Film Board of Canada, Douglas Jackson producer and director[15]TV Information: The Ungrateful Land: Roch Carrier Remembers Ste-Justine \u2014 National Film Board of Canada, Ian McLaren producer, Cynthia Scott director[16]Nature and Wildlife: Return of the Giants \u2014 Keg Productions, Ralph Ellis and Gerald S.
