Canada’s premier event celebrating excellence in film, television, and digital storytelling attracted a star-studded lineup to the red carpet on Sunday night. Notable personalities such as Hudson Williams from “Heated Rivalry,” Mae Martin from “Wayward,” Anna Lambe from “North of North,” and the recipient of the Academy Icon Award, Mike Myers, graced the 2026 Canadian Screen Awards.
