Andrea Martin will host the Academy's 2015 CANADIAN SCREEN AWARDS, broadcast live on CBS prime time on Sunday March 1, 2015, it was announced today by Helga Stephenson, CEO, Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.

"Andrea Martin is the perfect host as we move into the gorgeous Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts," says Stephenson.

Stage and screen star Martin previously hosted the Academy's former Gemini Awards on CBS in 1986 and 1987 to rave reviews.

"I'm thrilled to be hosting the CSA's said Ms. Martin, "especially since the film and television awards have converged on one special night. It Gives Candians everywhere, more time to figure out what's happening on ORPHAN BLACK."

Martin recently released her new book "Lady Parts", and received a Tony Award for her role in Broadway's Pippin. She will soon star in an upcoming sequel to the hit film 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.'
