Mommy became the second film after C.R.A.Z.Y. to win three acting awards. Tom at the Farm (Tom à la ferme) also received a nomination for Most Successful Film Outside Quebec during the previous ceremony, bringing its total to ten nominations.
Other winners included You're Sleeping Nicole (Tu dors Nicole) who took home two awards from nine nominations and 1987 who took home three awards from eight nominations.
Xavier Dolan received a record ten individual nominations, becoming the first director to be nominated twice for Best Director and Most Successful Film Outside Quebec in the same year and the first screenwriter to be nominated twice for Best Screenplay. He also received two nominations for Best Film as a producer and two nominations in technical categories, namely Best Editing and Best Costume Design. Dolan won five competitive awards as well as the Billet d'or award, setting the record for most awards won by an individual in a single ceremony.
They were the last awards to be presented under the Jutra name; in early 2016, Quebec Cinema renamed the awards after the publication of a biography of Claude Jutra, the award's former namesake, which contained allegations that he had sexually abused underage children during his lifetime.
