The Globe and Mail, March 13, 1993. This year's event was dominated by two Vancouver productions: Paul Shapiro's The Lotus Eaters, and Sandy Wilson's Harmony Cats. In a bid to increase the visibility of the Genie Awards in the francophone market in Quebec, the ceremony was held in Montreal and conducted in French for the first time."The 1993 Genies, live, from Montreal". The Globe and Mail, March 11, 1993. It was hosted by Marc Labrèche, one of Quebec's most popular comedians. As it had in 1992, the academy produced a special that aired immediately after the main broadcast and presented viewers with film clips and winner and nominee interviews. This year, it included satellite hookups between the gala in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, and the languages had changed places: the main broadcast was in French, and the post-ceremony show, Genies Tonight Wrap Party, was in English.Maria Topalovich, And the Genie Goes To...: Celebrating 50 Years of the Canadian Film Awards.
