Xavier Dolan’s It’s Only the End of the World ended its award streak on another high note by winning five awards at Quebec’s Prix Iris (formerly known as
the Jutra Awards), the province’s top ceremony honouring the best in Quebecois
cinema. World won five prizes
including Best Film, Director, Casting, and Cinematography. Dolan made an
impressive haul with the film despite meeting a rocky reception that still
leaves World without American distribution. Before the Iris ceremony, World won the Grand Prix at Cannes, six
Canadian Screen Awards including Best Film and Best Director, three French
Cesars including Best Director and it served as Canada’s Oscar submission where
it made the shortlist. Dolan previously won four Jutras for Mommy and two for his breakthrough I Killed My Mother.
Other big winners for the night included Anne Émond’s Nelly, which won four awards including Best Actress for Mylène MacKay, and Bad Weeds and Two Lovers and a Bear with two awards each. Theodore Ushev’s Oscar-nominated Blind Vaysha scored Best Animated Short Film. And, in the ceremony’s first public prize, the audience favourite was the queer teen drama 1:54 starring Mommy’s Antoine Olivier Pilon.
