By now, the young medium of television had dramatically changed the nature of filmmaking in Canada, to the point where the event's host, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation president J. Alphonse Ouimet, felt the need to assure the audience that videotape would not surpass film in importance to the CBC. Yet television was now keeping filmmaker's busy and had created a steady increase in revenue. Its new significance led to the creation of new CFA awards for TV, and the CBC won all of the awards for which it was eligible.[1]
