The awards were also sponsored by The Comedy Network[2] which compiled and broadcast the Best of the Fest television special, hosted by Gerry Dee.  The awards ceremony was hosted by Alan Park[4] at Casino Regina.[1]Winners and nominees[edit]The Awards were expanded from 20 to 24 categories this year, including three public-voting categories: best radio program or clip, best web clip, and Canadian Comedy Person of the Year.  Winners of public-voting categories were chosen by Canadian residents through an online poll.[2]The film Juno had been controversially excluded from Canada’s industry-driven Genie Awards.  Although it had a Canadian director, lead actors, crew, and had been filmed in Canada, U.S. financing disqualified it from competition.  The Canadian Comedy Awards, however, were artist-driven with a mandate “To recognize and celebrate Canadian achievements in comedy at home and abroad”[5] and awarded the film two Beavers.[6]Winners are listed first and highlighted in boldface:[7]Multimedia[edit]Live[edit]Television[edit]Best Performance by a MaleBest Performance by a FemaleBest Direction in a SeriesBest Direction in a Special or EpisodeBest Writing in a SeriesBest Writing in a Special or Episode Jon Dore, Mark Forward, Steve Dylan \u2013 The Jon Dore Television ShowLeo Scherman, Morgan Waters, Andy King, Brooks Gray \u2013 Cock’d GunnsZarqa Nawaz, Rebecca Schechter, Al Rae, Rob Sheridan, Greg Eckler, Paul Mather, Miles Smith \u2013 Little Mosque on the PrairieKevin White, Mark Farrell, Brent Butt, Andrew Carr, Norm Hiscock, Gary Pearson, Dylan Wertz \u2013 Corner GasPat Thornton \u2013 The Owl and the Man Mark Critch, Gavin Crawford, Gary Pearson, Kyle Tingley, Jennifer Whalen, Albert Howell, Tim McAuliffe, Nathan Fielder, Geri Hall, Andrew Bush, Dean Jenkinson \u2013 This Hour Has 22 Minutes, episode 3Rob Sheridan \u2013 Little Mosque on the Prairie \u2013 episode 213 “Public Access”Graeme Manson \u2013 Rent-A-Goalie \u2013 episode 5 \u2013 “Everybody’s a Fag”David Moses \u2013 Robson Arms \u2013 season 3, episode 303, “Geeks In Love”Kevin White \u2013 Corner Gas \u2013 “Bed and Brake Fast”Film[edit]Internet[edit]Special Awards[edit]Most wins[edit]The following people, shows, films, etc. received multiple awardsMost nominations[edit]The following people, shows, films, etc. received multiple nominations^ a b Credited as Ellen Page^ “The Waldo Ultimatum” is a sketch by the Imponderables.[8]References[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki43\/9th-canadian-comedy-awards-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"9th Canadian Comedy Awards – Wikipedia"}}]}]
