With only a handful of Canadian films released each year they were generally a small affair. In several years no film was found to merit the best picture award. The awards were also almost totally dominated by the [[National Film Board of Canada|National Film Board]]. ''[[Globe and Mail]]'' film critic [[Jay Scott]] described them as "honours given by presenters no one knew, to recipients no one recognized, to films no one had seen." {{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} |

The Canadian Film Awards were the leading Canadian cinema awards from 1949 until 1978. These honours were conducted annually except in 1974 when Quebec directors withdrew their participation and prompted a cancellation that year.
In 1968, a bronze award statuette was designed by sculptor Sorel Etrog and the award was often referred to as an Etrog Award. The awards were formally renamed the Genie Awards in 1980.[1]
Early years
With only a handful of Canadian films released each year they were generally a small affair. In several years no film was found to merit the best picture award. The awards were also almost totally dominated by the National Film Board. Globe and Mail film critic Jay Scott described them as "honours given by presenters no one knew, to recipients no one recognized, to films no one had seen." [citation needed]
