22nd Quebec Cinema Awards

The 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards were presented on 10 June 2020,[1] to recognize talent and achievement in the cinema of Quebec. The planned 7 June ceremony was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but nominees were announced 23 April.[2] Abenaki documentary filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin was also selected as the recipient of the Iris Tribute at the unanimous recommendation of Québec Cinéma's Comité de représentation professionnelle.[3]

Following the ceremony's cancellation, Québec Cinéma announced that on 10 June, most winners would be announced by webcast by Radio-Canada and ARTV, with the webcast hosted by Élise Guilbault, Guillaume Lambert and Mani Soleymanlou; following this, Jean-Philippe Wauthier hosted his show Bonsoir Bonsoir! where the winners for Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress and the Public Prize were announced.[1] Antigone by Sophie Deraspe won Best Film.[4]

Although the awards were ordinated as the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards at the time of presentation, due to their presentation as a livestream rather than a traditional award ceremony Québec Cinéma opted to also enumerate its 2021 ceremony as the 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards instead of the 23rd; however, the awards in 2022 were numbered as the 24th Quebec Cinema Awards instead of the 23rd, indicating that the 2021 awards are now considered the 23rd Quebec Cinema Awards.[5]
