Genie Award for Best Original Screenplay

The Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television presents an annual award for the best screenplay for a Canadian film. From 1980 until 2012, the award was presented as part of the Genie Awards ceremony; as of 2013, it is presented as part of the Canadian Screen Awards.

The award's presentation has not always been consistent — in some years, a single award for Best Screenplay has been presented, while in other years separate awards have been presented for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.
