4th Gemini Awards
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]

Notes
- ^a No other nominees were named in this category besides CODCO this year.
- ^b The Kids in the Hall was a variety program, not a variety series, this year as only the original 1988 pilot episode had aired within the eligibility period for this year's awards, and the full series did not start airing until the eligibility window for the 5th Gemini Awards.
