20th Quebec Cinema Awards

The 20th Quebec Cinema Awards ceremony was held on 3 June 2018 in Montreal, to recognize talent and achievement in the Cinema of Quebec. It was hosted by actresses Édith Cochrane and Guylaine Tremblay, who also jointly hosted the 2017 Prix Iris. Formerly known as the Jutra Awards, the Prix Iris name was announced in October 2016. A new category, Best Sound for a Documentary Film, was created for the 2018 event, and the nominees for Best Film was increased from five to seven.
The first winner was announced in spring 2018, with director and screenwriter André Forcier honoured with the Iris Hommage for 50 years of contributions to the province's film industry. Artisans-category awards were given on 29 May.
Hochelaga, Land of Souls lead the ceremony with ten nominations and received the most awards with five, including Best Supporting Actor for Emmanuel Schwartz. Despite this, it broke the record for the film with the most nominations without receiving a Best Film nomination. Infiltration also received ten nominations and won Best Actor for Christian Bégin.
Robin Aubert's Ravenous dominated the ceremony. With nine nominations, it swept each of the eight categories it was nominated in; only Micheline Lanctôt lost the award for Best Supporting Actress against her co-star Brigitte Poupart. It became the third film to win Best Film without a Best Screenplay nomination. Aubert also directed another Best Film nominee, Tuktuq, which received three nominations.
Cross My Heart and Family First each received eight nominations, with the former winning two awards, including Best Screenplay, while the latter won three awards, including two acting awards, and was the first to win both Best Actress for Maude Guérin and Revelation of the Year for Théodore Pellerin.
