The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a chaotic comedy about the rise and fall of an era-defining smart phone has won the $50,000 best Canadian feature prize from the Toronto Film Critics Association. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that BlackBerry director and star Matt Johnson accepted the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award at a swanky bash Monday night. This marked the first year Rogers Communications has divided its $100,000 award fund into two $50,000 prizes: one for best Canadian film and one for best Canadian documentary. After joking he would not be using the money for anything, Mr. Johnson told the Canadian Press that it would be going toward his next project, a film version of his Viceland series Nirvana: The Band the Show, which premiered in 2017. Swan Song, a profile of National Ballet of Canada artistic director and former dancer Karen Kain, won the $50,000 Best Canadian Documentary award. The prize for outstanding performance in a Canadian film, a new category, went to Glenn Howerton for his role as Research in Motion chief executive officer Jim Balsillie in BlackBerry. Toronto writer and film programmer Winnie Wang was presented with the Telefilm emerging critic award.
