Overview of nominations

[edit]

Ariane Louis-Seize's Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant) received a record breaking twenty-two nominations. It became the first film to receive seven acting nominations, the first to receive nominations in all five acting categories and the third film to receive three acting nominations in a single category, namely Best Supporting Actress. It received nominations in all eligible categories except Prix Michel-Côté which is determined by box-office results.[1]

The Nature of Love (Simple comme Sylvain) received fourteen nominations, including the "Big Five" categories, while 1995 received eleven nominations, followed by Richelieu and Solo with ten nominations each. For their roles in 1995, Jean-Carl Boucher and Sandrine Bisson each received their fourth nominations for playing the same character, following their nominations for 1981, 1987 and 1991.

For his performances in both Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person and The Nature of Love, Steve Laplante became the first actor to receive two nominations in the same acting category, namely Best Supporting Actor. For his performances in both The Successor (Le successeur) and Richelieu, Marc-André Grondin became the ninth performer and sixth actor to receive nominations for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor during the same ceremony.

For the first time since the Revelation of the Year category was introduced, two actors — Félix-Antoine Bénard in Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person and Ariane Castellanos in Richelieu — received dual nominations for both that category and the lead acting categories. Castellanos also received a Best Casting nomination for Richelieu, making her the first person to receive nominations for both acting and casting in the same movie.

Sound mixer Luc Boudrias became only the third person, following haistylist Martin Lapointe and producer Marc Bertrand, to receive four nominations in a single category, namely Best Sound.
