16th Genie Awards

The 16th Genie Awards were held on January 14, 1996, to honour films released in 1995. The ceremony took place in Montreal, at Société Radio-Canada's Studio 42.

It was the first of two Genie Award ceremonies held in 1996. Normally the 16th Genie Award ceremony would have been held in the fall of 1995, but it was delayed until early 1996. The 17th Genie Awards were held in November 1996, returning to the regular scheduling of the award ceremony.
