The **24th Genie Awards** were held on May 1, 2004, to honour films released in 2003. The ceremony was hosted by [Scott Thompson](/source/Scott_Thompson_(comedian)).[1] The ceremony was broadcast on [CHUM Limited](/source/CHUM_Limited)'s terrestrial [Citytv](/source/Citytv) and [Access Alberta](/source/CTV_Two_Alberta) networks, as well as on the cable channels [Bravo!](/source/Bravo_(Canada)) and [Star!](/source/Star!).[1]

Nominations were announced on March 16, 2004.[2] The film *[Seducing Doctor Lewis](/source/Seducing_Doctor_Lewis)* garnered the most nominations with 11 nods,[2] although it was virtually shut out on the night of the ceremony, winning only the award for [Best Cinematography](/source/Canadian_Screen_Award_for_Best_Cinematography).[3] [Denys Arcand](/source/Denys_Arcand)'s *[The Barbarian Invasions](/source/The_Barbarian_Invasions)* was the night's big winner,[4] winning six awards including [Best Picture](/source/Canadian_Screen_Award_for_Best_Motion_Picture). Arcand joked, however, that he had won only because neither [David Cronenberg](/source/David_Cronenberg) nor [Atom Egoyan](/source/Atom_Egoyan) had a film in competition.[4]

[Sarah Polley](/source/Sarah_Polley)'s [Best Actress](/source/Canadian_Screen_Award_for_Best_Actress) win for *[My Life Without Me](/source/My_Life_Without_Me)* was the only one of the six top awards not won by *The Barbarian Invasions*.[4] Polley took the opportunity in her speech to lament the state of [Canadian film](/source/Cinema_of_Canada): "We make great movies in this country and it's a shame that the Canadian public never gets to see them."[3]
