The 19th Genie Awards were held on February 4, 1999^[1] to honour Canadian films released in 1998.

The ceremony was held at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.^[2] Actor Albert Schultz hosted the ceremony.^[2]

Last Night and Such a Long Journey were tied for the most nominations, with 12 nods each.^[3] However, The Red Violin won the most awards, with eight wins including Best Picture.^[4]
