The 16th Prix Jutra ceremony was held on March 23, 2014 at the Monument-National theatre in Montreal, Quebec, to honour achievements in the Cinema of Quebec in 2013.[1] Nominations were announced in January.[2]
Louis Cyr (Louis Cyr: L'homme le plus fort du monde) received a leading eleven nominations and swept the ceremony with eight competitive awards, including Best Film, Best Actor for Antoine Bertrand and Best Supporting Actor for Guillaume Cyr, as well as the Billet d'or award. It became the first film to win Best Film without a Best Screenplay nomination.
Gabrielle won five awards from ten nominations, including Best Screenplay and Best Director for Louise Archambault who became the second woman to win the award. The omission of Gabrielle Marion-Rivard from the Best Actress category was perceived as a snub. She eventually would win the Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress two weeks before the Jutra ceremony.
