The Awards Ceremony, also known as the Gilded Chris Ceremony, is where the are eliminated in Total Drama Action. After a challenge is held, the losing team must head off to the amphitheater where the award ceremony takes place, and one or possibly more contestants will not receive a Gilded Chris Award. The eliminated contestant(s) is then forced to walk the Walk of Shame and enter the Lame-o-sine. Not every challenge ends in sending a team to the elimination ceremony as there are reward challenges throughout the season.
