# Toronto Film Critics Association Awards 2023

The 27th Toronto Film Critics Association Awards, honouring the best films released in 2023, were announced on December 17, 2023.
To create a contemporary reflection of inclusivity, the TFCA eliminated gender-based acting categories for 2023. Two Outstanding Lead Performance winners and two Outstanding Supporting Performance winners were chosen by vote, without regard to gender.
The awards gala was held, along with the winner announcements of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award and Rogers Best Canadian Documentary, at The Omni King Edward Hotel in Toronto, hosted by Canadian actress Amanda Brugel, on March 4, 2024.

## Changes

The awards saw various changes from previous years:
* The former categories of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress were retired and replaced with new gender-neutral categories: Outstanding Lead Performance and Outstanding Supporting Performance (with six finalists and two winners per category); two new performance categories were also introduced: Outstanding Performance in a Canadian Film and Outstanding Breakthrough Performance.
* Best Screenplay, formerly a single category, was split into separate categories: Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.
* The Rogers Best Canadian Film Award, formerly open to both narrative and documentary features, will now be split into two separate awards for narrative and documentary films.
