The 24th Genie Awards were held on May 1, 2004, to honour films released in 2003. The ceremony was hosted by Scott Thompson.[1] The ceremony was broadcast on CHUM Limited's terrestrial Citytv and Access Alberta networks, as well as on the cable channels Bravo! and Star!.[1]
Nominations were announced on March 16, 2004.[2] The film Seducing Doctor Lewis garnered the most nominations with 11 nods,[2] although it was virtually shut out on the night of the ceremony, winning only the award for Best Cinematography.[3] Denys Arcand's The Barbarian Invasions was the night's big winner,[4] winning six awards including Best Picture. Arcand joked, however, that he had won only because neither David Cronenberg nor Atom Egoyan had a film in competition.[4]
Sarah Polley's Best Actress win for My Life Without Me was the only one of the six top awards not won by The Barbarian Invasions.[4] Polley took the opportunity in her speech to lament the state of Canadian film: "We make great movies in this country and it's a shame that the Canadian public never gets to see them."[3]
