Welcome to the Northernstars.ca Canadian Film Award Archive. This page contains information about Les Prix Jutra (The Jutra Awards). We also have information on the Canadian Film Awards, The Genie Awards and the Canadian Screen Awards.
A Brief History of Les Prix Jutras:
The Jutra Award (Prix Jutra or La Soirée des Prix Jutra) was awarded annually to films made in Québec. First introduced in 1999, the Jutra Award was named after Quebec filmmaker Claude Jutra. The Jutra trophy was designed by sculptor Charles Daudelin. The Prix Jutra replaced the prix Guy-L’Écuyer created in 1987 by Les Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois in memory of actor Guy L’Écuyer. The billet d’or, or Golden Ticket is presented to the film with the top grossing box office in Québec.
As the result of a controversy in early 2016, Cinéma Québec, the organization behind Les Prix Jutras, decided to drop the famed director’s name from the awards, adopting, perhaps only on a temporary basis, the name Gala du Cinéma Québécois.
These awards are listed according to the year they were presented.
