# 19th Quebec Cinema Awards

The 19th Quebec Cinema Awards ceremony was held on 4 June 2017, hosted by actors Guylaine Tremblay and Édith Cochrane, to recognize talent and achievement in the Cinema of Quebec. Formerly known as the Jutra Awards, the Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016. Several categories were also added this year, including for Casting, Visual Effects, Revelation and Documentary Editing and Cinematography, while the Billet d'or for straightforward box office performance was succeeded by the Prix du public (Public Prize), chosen by viewers' votes.
The first winners were announced at the Gala des artisans on 1 June, with producer Lyse Lafontaine also honoured with the Iris Hommage for 30 years of contributions to the province's film industry.
Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du monde) lead with twelve nominations and won five awards, including Best Film and Best Director. It also became the second film to win Best Film without a Best Screenplay nomination.
Two Lovers and a Bear also received twelve nominations and won two awards. Bad Seeds (Les mauvaises herbes) followed with nine nominations resulting in two awards: Best Supporting Actor for Luc Picard and Best Screenplay. Kiss Me Like a Lover (Embrasse-moi comme tu m'aimes) also received nine nominations and won Best Supporting Actress for Céline Bonnier. It became the fourth film to receive nine nominations without being nominated for Best Film.
Nelly won four awards from six nominations, including Best Actress for Mylène Mackay. Emmanuelle Lussier-Martinez became the second actress and fifth performer overall to receive multiple acting nominations during the same ceremony, although she didn't win either Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress.
Gabriel Arcand, Céline Bonnier and Luc Picard each won their third acting award during the ceremony. Arcand had previously won Best Actor for Post Mortem and Best Supporting Actor for Congorama, Bonnier had previsouly won Best Actress twice for Deliver Me (Délivrez-moi) and The Passion of Augustine (La passion d'Augustine) while Picard had previously won Best Actor for February 15, 1839 (15 février 1839) and Best Supporting Actor for The Collector (Le collectionneur).
