The night’s guest of honour was David Cronenberg, and he announced the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award and presented it to Quebec director Denis Villeneuve for Polytechnique. For winner, Villeneuve also picks up a $10,000 cheque.
The award’s other two other finalists were: Benoit Pilon (The Necessities of Life) and Bruce McDonald (Pontypool).
