38th Gemini Awards | Bye bye, Laurier Gaudreault and Complètement lycée in a good position

THE Bye, The night Laurier Gaudreault woke up And Completely high school started the race for Gemini with a bang on Thursday evening.

The three productions won numerous golden statuettes at the Industry Gala, hosted by Nicolas Ouellet live from the Complexe Desjardins, in Montreal.

THE Bye bye 2022 won in six categories, including best costume design, best makeup and hairstyles, and best editing (humor, magazine, variety). The popular end-of-year review led by Simon Olivier Fecteau could boost its haul on Sunday, when the other two award ceremonies will be presented.

In fiction, The night Laurier Gaudreault woke up, by Xavier Dolan, achieved a hat trick by obtaining three Geminis: editing, cinematographic direction and best original music. In this last category, the trophy will be sent to American composers David Fleming (Dune, The Last of Us) and Hans Zimmer (Inception, Gladiator). The miniseries will be presented on Télé-Québec in the fall. It is also offered on Club illico.

On the comedies side, the second season of Completely high school, with Rosalie Vaillancourt, seems to benefit from irresistible momentum. Noovo’s offering, which pastiches American soap operas for teenagers, won two important trophies: best direction (ahead of About Antoine, The brotherhood, Guys And Without an appointment) and best text (in front About Antoine, The eye of the storm, Leo And Without an appointment).

Four other titles achieved doubles: I salute you bitch And Facing the devil of the North Shore in documentary, Lou and Sophie in youth, and Infoman 2022.

Other winners include Soly Club, 100 geniuses, Mégantic, Disobey: Chantale Daigle’s choice, I would like to be erased, There are people at mass, Investigation And Larry.

Hosted by Pierre-Yves Lord, the 38^are Prix ​​Gémeaux will be broadcast on ICI Télé on Sunday at 8 p.m. In the afternoon, ICI ARTV will broadcast the Opening Gala from 3 p.m.
