21st Quebec Cinema Awards

The 21st Quebec Cinema Awards, the 21st overall ceremony in the history of the Quebec Cinema Awards, were held on June 2, 2019, in Montreal.[1] Cinematographer Pierre Mignot also received the Iris Tribute.[2]

The ceremony marked the first time that four films received ten nominations or more, with 1991 receiving sixteen nominations, a new record. The film won five awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress for Sandrine Bisson, who had previously won the same award for the same role for 1981.

For Those Who Don't Read Me (À tous ceux qui ne me lisent pas) followed with twelve nominations and won two competitive awards: Best Actor for Martin Dubreuil and Best Screenplay. It also won a third award for Best First Film which was announced during the ceremony. The category would become competitive with multiple nominees the following year.

La Bolduc received eleven nominations and won six awards, the most of the night, including Best Actress for Debbie Lynch-White. Ghost Town Anthology (Répertoire des villes disparues) was nominated for ten awards, but went home empty-handed.

A Colony (Une colonie) received nine nominations and won three awards, including two acting awards, becoming the first film to win both Best Supporting Actor for Robin Aubert and Revelation of the Year for Émilie Bierre. It also became the second film to receive three acting nominations in the same category, for Revelation of the Year, after Les Boys III received three nominations for Best Actor at the 4th Jutra Awards.
