The 27th Canadian Film Awards were held on October 12, 1975 to honour achievements in Canadian film.[1] The ceremony was hosted by Peter Gzowski.
Due to the Quebec boycott crisis which protested the treatment of films from Quebec, the 25th Canadian Film Awards in 1973, and the resulting cancellation of the awards in 1974, the 1975 awards covered films released in both 1974 and 1975. Accordingly, the Canadian Film Awards committee revived the Film of the Year category, which had not been used since 1970, so that it could name separate Best Picture winners for both 1974 and 1975.[2] In all other categories, however, separate winners were not named for the two years.
