The 13th annual Genie Awards were held on November 22, 1992, to honour Canadian films released in late 1991 and 1992. They were dominated by David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch, Jean-Claude Lauzon's Léolo, and Jean Beaudin's Being at Home with Claude.[1]

The academy now recognized that its annual ceremony was not attracting audiences in Quebec. It worked with Radio-Canada to produce a French-language special, hosted by Quebec journalist René Homier-Roy, that aired immediately after the main broadcast and presented viewers with film clips and winner and nominee interviews.[2]

The ceremony was held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto.[3] Actor John Candy was slated to host the event, but he pulled out in a dispute over advance advertising which he had not approved and which he perceived as making fun of his weight. Actor Leslie Nielsen stepped in as host and received a standing ovation.[3]
