Golden Box Office Award

Our Golden Box Office Award, and its French-language equivalent Prix Guichet d’or, recognizes the Canadian director(s) and screenwriter(s) of the Canadian feature film with the highest domestic box-office sales in a calendar year.

In a departure from most box-office awards that spotlight producers and distributors, Telefilm recognizes the directing and scriptwriting talent behind these homegrown success stories.

  • Director Mike Clattenburg and co-writers Timm Hannebohm, John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells and Mike Smith for Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor day­
