The unveiling of the nominations took place at Club Soda, in Montreal, on Wednesday in front of a part of the artistic elite and the media during a first press conference in three years (the pandemic having temporarily interrupted the tradition).
Hubert Lenoir ranks first in terms of citations, his name appearing in the artistic selections Male performer, Alternative album, Critics’ album, Artist with international influence, Author or composer, International collaboration and Video of the year. In the industry categories, the album pictura de ipse is cited for his arrangements (Hubert Lenoir and Gabriel Desjardins), his production, his cover (Noémie D. Leclerc) as well as his sound recording and mixing.
Remember that artistic nominations concern albums, artists or shows, while industrial nominations include companies (record labels, production teams, etc.), products (covers, shows, events) and individuals (arrangements , production, sound recording, etc.).
Lisa LeBlanc trails Lenoir for artistic nominations, with five citations (as well as an industry nomination for directing chic disco).

“We cannot stress enough the joy of seeing our three galas live, in front of an audience,” commented Julie Gariépy, executive producer and content manager for the ADISQ Galas. This year we obtained a record census, proof that the artists have never stopped creating, which allows, among other things, the return of the entertainment categories. »
Some 250 albums, 88 shows and 91 music videos were counted for this edition, for a total of 56 Félix awarded during the three galas.
The ADISQ gala ceremony, once again hosted by Louis-José Houde, will take place in Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts on November 6. It will follow the Premier Gala, presented on November 2 and hosted by Pierre Lapointe at MTELUS, as well as the Industry Gala, which will take place earlier that same day at Club Soda and will be hosted by Claudine Prévost.
