It was a proud moment for the entire team that contributed to the project.

The Prix Gémeaux
To celebrate what is best on our screens—that is the mission, at once simple and complex, of the Prix Gémeaux. To do so, the members of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television select the television and digital productions that have stood out for their boldness, their vitality and their ingenuity and that have succeeded in stirring the public’s passion for made-in-Quebec television. In 30 years, the Prix Gémeaux have become a major celebration. From the original 35 categories of programs, professions and acting rewarded, the Academy today hands Gémeaux out in 110 categories, paying tribute to the creators of images that bring the small screen—and the mobile screen—to life.
