Similar to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Toronto Film Critics Association hold their own film awards ceremony annually, the TFCA Gala. This year’s show has been moved from January to March and is now online and free.

Tune into Youtube on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at 8 p.m. ET.

“The TFCA Awards celebrate Canada’s own film community. We are extremely grateful to founding sponsor Rogers Communications for the $100,000 Rogers Best Canadian Film Award, one of the largest arts prizes in Canada. Under the TFCA’s rules, eligible contenders for the awards include films released in theatres or streaming in Toronto in 2020 as well as films that qualify for the 2020 Academy Awards and have a Toronto release scheduled by the end of March 2021.”

My take: my goal is to win the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award with ‘1 Lie.’ All I have to do is make it and get it screened in Toronto. How hard can that be? (Hmm, the screening will be tough.)
