The awards-giving continued tonight (Feb. 28), as 46 Canadian Screen Awards were handed out during the second of three events celebrating the best of Canadian TV, film and digital media.

Hosted by CTV journalist Seamus O’Regan, awards for best drama, children’s and youth, comedy and variety categories, including four Academy Special Awards, were handed out Thursday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

The Rick Mercer Report cleaned up in several categories for best music, variety, sketch comedy or talk program, including best writing, Mercer for best performance, and the top prize overall in the genre.

Epitome Pictures’ Degrassi (season 11) took the prize for best children’s or youth fiction series, with Phil Earnshaw receiving an award for best direction in a kids or youth series for the Scream, Part Two episode.

Flashpoint was a winner in several craft categories, with prizes to James Donovan for direction in a dramatic series (A Day in the Life); Amin Bhatia and Ari Posner for original music score for a series (Day Game); Brett C. Sullivan for editing in a dramatic program or series (Grounded); and Aubrey Nealon for best writing in a dramatic series (Day Game).

Best writing in a comedy program or series went to Mark McKinney for Less than Kind (Play it Again Sam).

And Bomb Girls and The Borgias won two awards apiece. For Bomb Girls, Joanne Hansen took the prize for costume design (Jumping Tracks) and Aidan Leroux was tapped for best production design or art direction in a fiction series for the same episode of the series. And for The Borgias, Paul Sarossy was tapped for best photography in a dramatic series, while the team at Tattersall Sound & Picture won for best sound in a dramatic series.
