Christopher Plummer, Jacob Tremblay to present at Canadian Screen Awards

TORONTO – Veteran star Christopher Plummer and newcomer Jacob Tremblay are among the presenters set to appear at the Canadian Screen Awards.

The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television announced the first batch of its celebrity attendees on Wednesday.

They also include Waris Ahluwalia of “Beeba Boys,” Lyriq Bent of CBC-TV’s “The Book of Negroes,” Wendy Crewson of CTV’s “Saving Hope” and “Room,” and director Helen Shaver of History’s “Vikings” and Space’s “Orphan Black.”

Plummer and nine-year-old Tremblay are rivals in the best film actor category.

Plummer is up for his role as a Holocaust survivor in the Nazi revenge thriller “Remember,” while Tremblay earned a nomination for his arresting turn as a boy held captive with his mother in “Room.”

This year’s gala will be hosted by comic Norm Macdonald in Toronto. It airs on CBC-TV on March 13.
