    Melanie earned seven nominations for the 4th Genie Awards winning three of these:

  • O'Connor won as Best Foreign Actress
  • "You Saved My Soul" by Cummings won for Best Song
  • Richard Paluck and Paul Guza Jr won for Best Adapted Screenplay. However, this award was later rescinded after the Academy learned that the short story on which the screenplay was based had not been previously published, making it not an adaptation according to the rules of the award.
