Quaid appeared in Vancouver to personally accept his award in February 2011, two years after the winners announcement. He told CTV News Vancouver "Having worked in Canada continuously over the years from the 'Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz' to 'Brokeback Mountain' to 'Real Time', it was a natural choice for us to come here for some R&R and to finally accept an award I had been given for 'Real Time'".
