The **29th Genie Awards** were held on April 4, 2009, to honour Canadian films released in 2008. The ceremony was held at the [Canadian Aviation Museum](/source/Canadian_Aviation_Museum) in [Ottawa](/source/Ottawa), [Ontario](/source/Ontario), and was broadcast on [Global](/source/Global_Television_Network) and [IFC](/source/IFC_(Canadian_TV_channel)). The ceremony was hosted by [Dave Foley](/source/Dave_Foley).[1]

Nominations were announced on February 10, 2009,[2] and were led by Quebec films. *[The Necessities of Life](/source/The_Necessities_of_Life)* ([French](/source/French_language): *Ce qu'il faut pour vivre*) received eight nominations followed by *[Everything Is Fine](/source/Everything_Is_Fine_(film))* (French: *Tout est parfait*) with seven.[3][4] Historical epic *[Passchendaele](/source/Passchendaele_(film))* had the most wins at five Genies and was also recognized with the Golden Reel as the highest-grossing Canadian film.[5]

## Host city and venue

The 29th Genie Awards were held in [Ottawa](/source/Ottawa), Canada's capital, in a move suggested by the [National Capital Commission](/source/National_Capital_Commission) (NCC). The awards had previously only been held in Toronto, aside from two ceremonies in Montreal in the mid-1990s.[6] The Ontario provincial government invested $150,000 to help the NCC host the Genie Awards and Genie Week, to bring national attention to tourist attractions in the capital region.[7]

The venue chosen for the awards ceremony was the [Canadian Aviation Museum](/source/Canadian_Aviation_Museum) (now the Canada Aviation and Space Museum). [Gordon Pinsent](/source/Gordon_Pinsent) and [Caroline Neron](/source/Caroline_Neron) announced the nominations at the museum on February 10, 2009.[8] On March 30, [Dave Foley](/source/Dave_Foley) was named to host the ceremony.[4]

## Genie Week

A new feature of this year's awards was Genie Week[6] of 20 events over 8 days, leading up to the awards ceremony on April 4.[9] Events were arranged by the Genie Host Organizing Committee, the NCC and the [Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television](/source/Academy_of_Canadian_Cinema_%26_Television) (ACCT).[10]

The [Canadian War Museum](/source/Canadian_War_Museum) presented a free screening of *[Passchendaele](/source/Passchendaele_(film))*, followed by a question and answer session and a tour of trench warfare exhibits.[11] The Canadian Aviation Museum was transformed into a drive-in theatre for a screening of *[Amal](/source/Amal_(2007_film))*.[10] Screenings of other best-picture nominees were held at [Centrepointe Theatre](/source/Centrepointe_Theatre), [Arts Court](/source/Arts_Court), the [Canadian Museum of Civilization](/source/Canadian_Museum_of_Civilization), and the [Canadian Museum of Nature](/source/Canadian_Museum_of_Nature),[9] along with talks and cultural events.

[Library and Archives Canada](/source/Library_and_Archives_Canada) (LAC) hosted lunchtime screenings of Best Animated Short and Best Live Action Short nominees throughout the week, and offered tours of its film preservation centre and extensive film collections.[12]

Specially designated [Via Rail](/source/Via_Rail) Genie trains brought nominees, industry members and special guests from Toronto and Montreal, with a red carpet reception on their arrival in Ottawa on April 3.[6][9]

## Ceremony

While lacking the extravagance of the Toronto events,[13][1] the Ottawa ceremony was considered a smart and stylish event. Guy Buller, president of ACTRA's Ottawa chapter, wrote that the museum's collection of vintage aircraft lent a sense of "history, endeavour and pride" to the ceremony.[13]

The awards ceremony was followed by a gala at the Canadian War Museum.[9]

On the red carpet, one presenter suggested that they had dressed down in response to Prime Minister Stephen Harper's election comment that his constituents didn't care about fancy art galas.[1]

### Advocacy

The venue was located minutes from [Parliament Hill](/source/Parliament_Hill),[10] and there were calls from presenters and other celebrities for Harper's Conservative government to increase support for Canadian film and other cultural industries, particularly for the [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation](/source/Canadian_Broadcasting_Corporation) (CBC). On the red carpet, Foley advocated that Canadian theatres be required to show a proportion of domestic films, as is the case in France and Great Britain.[14]

Presenter Wendy Crewson joked that the after party would be held at the Prime Minister's residence, where she would be on a barricade with a bullhorn.[1]

[Heritage Minister](/source/Minister_of_Canadian_Heritage) [James Moore](/source/James_Moore_(Canadian_politician)) received an invitation but declined to attend. A writer for *The Globe and Mail* noted no Conservative politicians at the event, though Liberal MPs [Pablo Rodríguez](/source/Pablo_Rodr%C3%ADguez_(Canadian_politician)) and [Martha Hall Findlay](/source/Martha_Hall_Findlay) were at the ceremony.[1] Rodriguez was a vocal critic of Heritage policy.[14]

Jay Stone of *[The National Post](/source/The_National_Post)* wrote that Kristin Booth's supporting actress win was a "vindication" for *[Young People Fucking](/source/Young_People_Fucking)*, a film which was at the centre of the [Bill C-10](/source/Income_Tax_Amendments_Act%2C_2006) controversy of the previous year.[5] During the previous year's ceremony, several speakers had criticized the bill.[15]
