The Canadian Screen Awards were feeling the Brother-ly love last night.

Clement Virgo鈥檚 coming-of-age film 鈥淏rother鈥� won 12 of the 14 awards it was nominated for, including best motion picture, best direction and best-adapted screenplay.

Virgo says it鈥檚 a surreal experience to be honoured with the rest of the cast and crew at the awards show, where the film set a record.

Lamar Johnson nabbed the award for performance in a leading role, while Aaron Pierre took home performance in a supporting role.

A week of live events celebrating Canada鈥檚 media and entertainment industry wraps this evening with a gala recognizing television drama and comedies.

The leading television nominee is the CBC/BET Plus historical drama 鈥淭he Porter鈥� with 19 nominations.

The public broadcaster鈥檚 millennial comedy 鈥淪ort Of鈥� received 15 nominations, followed by buddy-cop comedy 鈥淧retty Hard Cases鈥� with 11.

Highlights of the various awards shows will be broadcast Sunday in an hour-long special hosted by Samantha Bee on CBC and CBC Gem.
