The 10th Genie Awards were held on March 22, 1989.^[1] This was in the middle of a strike at the CBC, causing the ceremony to be scaled down and several nominees to boycott the awards in sympathy;^[2] although the ceremony was still aired by CBC Television, the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television was forced to produce the broadcast alone.^[3]

The awards were dominated by David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers, which won ten awards.^[4] The event was held at the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel in Toronto and was hosted by Dave Thomas.^[1]
