The 9th Canadian Film Awards were held on June 15, 1957 to honour achievements in Canadian film.[1] The ceremony was hosted by Leonard Brockington, the founding Chairman of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

For some time, members of the filmmaking community had been dissatisfied with the administration and structure of the awards. While its management had taken steps to resolve some of the issues, the poor technical quality of the ceremony itself led to media criticism which, many felt, was harming the industry. It was therefore decided that no awards would be presented in the traditional film categories; instead, two amateur awards were presented, and special awards were given to individuals and organizations who had been chosen through a nomination process.[2]
