This production of Encore television, which will be back for a second season next January on TVA, also allowed actor Anthony Therrien, who plays Félix, a young amputee living with a recurrence of cancer, to obtain the Revelation prize. This honor was also given to him for his role in “Six Degrees”, fiction written by Simon Boulerice which will conclude with a third season next year.
Among the awards, the Éclat de rire prize praised the crisis of François (Michel Charette) in “Le bonheur”, the Fictional Dramatic Moment prize highlighted the death of Poupou (Sébastien Delorme) in “District 31” and the actress Rachel Graton won the Best Performed Character award for her character Ève Garence in “Portrait-robot”.
“District 31”, whose filming ended on Friday, also won another prize, that of the Silver Zapette awarded to Vincent-Guillaume Otis for “the perseverance and tenacity” of Detective Sergeant Patrick Bissonnette. He is the actor who has played in the most episodes of Luc Dionne’s daily newspaper, which ends on April 21 after six seasons.

It is also the host of this ARTV meeting, Anne-Marie Withenshaw, who commanded Les Zapettes d’or, she who had missed the gala last year after contracting COVID-19.
Several numbers came to punctuate the ceremony, including the well-cooked comedian Pascal Cameron, who made fun of the panelists.

Le Bonhomme des Neiges was in fact a nod to the show “Masked singers” which was a hit last fall on TVA. Several Véroniques had been named when we were looking for who was hiding in the “masked” mascot, but it was Véronique Cloutier.
