Homegrown comedy will be front and centre as the Canadian Screen Awards air Sunday without a host. Canadian actor Andrew Phung of the CBC family comedy “Kim’s Convenience” is among those who support the host-free format. Avrich said he’s in favour of experimenting with the show, noting the Canadian Screen Awards are only in their seventh year, making them fairly young on the awards circuit. It should be the exact same thing as the Golden Globes and would be a third of the cost.”The Canadian Screen Awards have a total of 135 categories in film, television and digital media. Between the crop of nominees and the presenters set for the show, this year’s Canadian Screen Awards signify “a huge moment happening in Canada right now around comedy,” said Janson.
