The 4th Gemini Awards were held on December 4 and 5, 1989 to honour achievements in Canadian television.[1] It was broadcast on CTV, with Martin Short as host.[2]
Nominees were announced in October.[3]
The most famous moment in the ceremony was the pairing of journalist Barbara Frum and sketch comedian Greg Malone as presenters; Malone was famous for impersonating Frum on CODCO, and came out dressed as Frum.[4] This was in fact planned in advance with Frum's full cooperation.[4]
