Heated Rivalry dominated the Canadian Screen Awards, taking a record 16 trophies including Best Drama Series. Indigenous creators won 13 awards overall, led by Arctic sitcom North of North, which earned nine wins including Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Performer for Anna Lambe. Other Indigenous projects such as Endless Cookie, Sweet Angel Baby, and At the Place of Ghosts also received awards. The outcomes underscore a strong year for Canadian productions and raised questions about eligibility rules when American-born co-star Connor Storrie was ruled ineligible to compete.
