Earle Grey Award

The Earle Grey Award is the lifetime achievement award for television acting of the Canadian Screen Awards, and its predecessor the Gemini Awards. The award is named for the first president of ACTRA's Toronto branch. It can be presented to an individual or collaborative team (such as SCTV or Royal Canadian Air Farce).

Nominations for the award are presented by professionals within the Canadian television community and the decision of who will win the award is made by a special committee.
