24th Quebec Cinema Awards

The 24th Quebec Cinema Awards were held on June 5, 2022, to honour achievements in the Cinema of Quebec in 2021.[1] The ceremony was hosted by actress Geneviève Schmidt.[2]

Drunken Birds (Les oiseaux ivres) and Maria Chapdelaine initially received sixteen nominations each, tying the record for most nominations. Aline, a biopic inspired by the life of Celine Dion, initially received eight nominations, but due to it being a majority French production, it was deemed ineligible for the Most Successful Film Outside Quebec and the Public Prize awards and was removed from the final voting list. New nominations were announced, with Old Buddies (Les vieux chums) being nominated for the Public Prize while Drunken Birds (Les oiseaux ivres) was nominated for Most Successful Film Outside Quebec, bringing its total to seventeen nominations, a new record.

Drunken Birds (Les oiseaux ivres) swept the ceremony with ten awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screeplay and two acting awards: Best Supporting Actor for Claude Legault, his second acting award, and Best Actress for Hélène Florent. Maria Chapdelaine won four awards, including two acting awards: Best Supporting Actress for Hélène Florent and Revelation of the Year for Sara Montpetit.

Hélène Florent became the seventh performer and third actress to receive two acting nominations during the same ceremony. She won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first actress in the history of the awards to win both categories in the same year.[3]

The Time Thief (L'arracheuse de temps) received thirteen nominations, breaking the record for most nominations without a Best Film nomination. It ended up winning three awards. Beans was nominated for eleven awards, but went home empty-handed. Big Giant Wave (Comme une vague) became the second documentary to win three awards, including Best Documentary.

Visual effects director Marie-Claude Lafontaine was nominated for every film in the Best Visual Effects category, a first in the history of the awards. She won for The Time Thief (L'arracheuse de temps).
