Nominations were announced on January 19, 2016. Throughout the week before the main ceremony, awards in many technical categories were presented in a series of galas.

During the ceremony, host Norm Macdonald suggested the award be called the Candy in honour of late Canadian actor John Candy, comparable to the Academy Awards long being known as Oscars. The nickname has still not been officially adopted by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, although academy chair Martin Katz personally endorsed it in a follow-up interview with the Toronto Star.

Pre-show

Leading into the March 13 ceremony, comedian Steve Patterson hosted a special called The Great Canadian Screen Test, quizzing people in the streets of Toronto about the nominated films and who they thought should win the awards in various categories.
