Antigone, Sophie Deraspe’s haunting French-language drama that set its adaptation of the Greek tragedy as a tale of a modern-day refugee family in Montreal, won Best Picture and tied François Girard’s The Song of Names with five wins overall Thursday at the Canadian Screen Awards, Canada’s equivalent to the Oscars.
Winners in the Cinematic Arts categories came tonight in a virtual ceremony held by The Canadian Academy, culminating three days of award handouts spanning film, TV, news, sports and documentaries.
Antigone won the Best Canadian Feature Film at last year’s Toronto Film Festival on its way to becoming Canada’s official submission in the 2020 International Feature Film race. Tonight, it also took best actress for star Nahéma Ricci, supporting actress for Nour Belkhiria, adapted screenplay for Deraspe, and Geoffrey Boulangé and Deraspe won for editing.
Song of Names, about an Englishman who searches for his childhood friend, a violin prodigy, who disappears on the eve of his first solo concert, landed wins including for its sound design and for Howard Shore’s original score and original song “The Song of Names (Cantor Prayer).”
The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open won three awards tonight including director and original screenwriter wins for Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers and Kathleen Hepburn. Matthew Rankin’s The Twentieth Century also had three wins, for art direction, hair and costume design.
Earlier in the week, the CBC/Pop TV comedy Schitt’s Creek, which led all TV nominees with 26 for its final season going in, won six trophies including best comedy. CTV and Hulu’s Cardinal led with seven wins including best drama.
