Although Canadian films have often received critical praise, and the National Film Board has won more Academy Awards than almost any other institution (for both their animation and documentary work), in many Canadian cities moviegoers do not even have the option of seeing such films, as they have poor distribution and are not shown at any theatres. One "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" sketch parodied an Atom Egoyan-like director whose films had won numerous international awards, but had never actually been released or exhibited.
