Building on the success of its Genie specials of the last two years, the academy and the CBC produced two shows for this year's event. Genies Countdown was a one-hour preview show which aired twice before the gala; for the Quebec market, Les Grands Moments du Genie aired immediately after the show.[1]

This year's awards were dominated by Atom Egoyan's Exotica,[2] and Whale Music, the debut film of director Richard J. Lewis. Another newcomer, Michel Poulette, won the Claude Jutra Award for outstanding achievement for first-time direction for his film Louis 19, le roi des ondes (Louis 19, King of the Airwaves), which also won the Golden Reel Award as the year's most commercially-successful film.[3]
