The 2026 Canadian Screen Awards welcomed a plethora of fashion favorites, emerging stars, and industry legends to its red carpet event. Notable attendees included Hudson Williams from “Heated Rivalry,” Mae Martin from “Wayward,” Anna Lambe from “North of North,” and Mike Myers, who received the Academy Icon Award.
Comedian and “Kim’s Convenience” star Andrew Phung hosted the glamorous ceremony, which viewers could stream on CBC Gem and the CBC YouTube channel. One notable change this year was a new regulation that restricted awards eligibility to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, rendering some leads like Connor Storrie from “Heated Rivalry” and Barbie Ferreira from “Mile End Kicks” ineligible for recognition.
Despite this limitation, Canadian talent continued to shine on the red carpet, showcasing a mix of local and international designer outfits. The event has become a significant platform for Canadian fashion, with celebrities donning creations from both local independent designers and renowned global brands.
