The 12th annual Genie Awards were held on November 26, 1991, and honoured Canadian films released in 1990. The awards were moved from their previous March date after the disastrous ratings of the previous awards. The format was also changed and the eligible voters reduced to 130. The ceremony was hosted by Leslie Nielsen and was held at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto. They were dominated by the Canadian/Australian co-production Black Robe which won six awards.
