The Prix Jutra Goes C.R.A.Z.Y.
March 19th, 2006 by Andre Soares
As expected, Jean-Marc Vallée’s blockbuster C.R.A.Z.Y., the story of a gay youth growing up in the Quebec of the 1960s and 1970s, won 13 Jutra Awards, Quebec’s top film prize, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Marc-André Grondin), and Best Screenplay (Vallée and François Boulay). Additionally, C.R.A.Z.Y. won a special award as the Most Illustrious Film Outside Quebec, and a Billet d’Or given to the biggest box-office success of the year.
C.R.A.Z.Y. only lost (to itself) one award, in the Best Supporting Actor category: Pierre-Luc Brillant lost to Michel Côté (who won the Best Actor Genie Award last week - defeating fellow nominee Grondin).
The Jutra Award for Best Actress went to Élise Guilbault for La Neuvaine.
C.R.A.Z.Y. also dominated the Genie Awards, winning a total of 10 statuettes, including Best Film and Best Director.
