This year, the Canadian Screen Awards have done things a little differently.
After two years of remote programming, the celebration of top talent in film, TV and digital media returned to in-person events, which happened all week. Then, on Sunday, “The Canadian Screen Awards With Samantha Bee” will air on CBC and CBC Gem. The pre-recorded special features exclusive interviews with the nation’s best and brightest, and the talents of Bee, one of Toronto’s foremost comedians.
We talked to Bee about the special, her current tour, and the marriage between joy and terror when navigating new professional territory.
What drew you to the Canadian Screen Awards special?
First of all, they asked me to do it! That’s often a barrier because sometimes when you’re working, people think you’re too busy and actually I’m not too busy! It was an instant yes. I also really appreciate that…
