| Guillaume Cyr and Antoine Bertrand in Louis Cyr |
We have an upset, but leave it to Quebec to get an award show done right. The province has become a hallmark for Canadian cinema as it churns out hit after hit, and Quebec once again put the rest of the country to shame by offering an award show that recongized films that were actually seen and celebrated by Canadians in 2013. Tonight's fête for
Les Prix Jutra, named after Quebec filmmaker Claude Jutra, saw across the board recognition for some of the most acclaimed Canadian films of 2013 that were sorely underrepresented at the Canadian Screen Awards. The Jutras, unlike the Screenies, restrict contention to films released theatrically in 2013. Thank goodness, for Louise Archambault finally got the recognition she deserved! After an inexcusable snub at the Canadian Screen Awards despite a Best Picture win for
Gabrielle, the director of Canada's Oscar darling finally won some well-deserved hardware. Archambault scored Best Director and Best Screenplay, making her only the second woman in Jutra history to score Best Director (the first was Lyne Charlebois for
Borderline), while all four of the acting prizes went to Screenie snubees, most notably
Pierrette
Robitaille for her performance in Denis Côté's Vic + Flo Saw a Bear and Antoine Bertrand in Louis Cyr. Oddly enough, the big prize of the night didn't go to Archambault's Gabrielle, but rather to Daniel Roby's Louis Cyr. Louis Cyr, the Quebec box office champ for 2013, gave Gabrielle a fair fight and won 9 awards overall to Gabrielle's 5.
