ACTRA Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ACTRA Awards were first presented in 1972 to celebrate excellence in Canada's television, film and radio industry. Organized and presented by the Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists, which represented performers, writers and broadcast journalists, the Nellie statuettes were presented annually until 1986. In 1987, responsibility for presenting the Canadian television and film awards was transferred to the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television which continued to present the Nellie in several categories. On the 60th Anniversary of the national union, now renamed the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists and respresenting only performers, the ACTRA Awards were resurrected in several of its branches across Canada.
