The 9th Jutra Awards were held on February 18, 2007 to honour films made with the participation of the Quebec film industry in 2006.[1]
Bon Cop, Bad Cop received a leading thirteen nominations, but ended up only winning the award for Best Editing and the Billet d'or award.
A Sunday in Kigali (Un dimanche à Kigali) received twelve nominations and won six awards, but the night's big winner was Congorama, who won five awards from seven nominations, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film also won two acting awards: both Paul Ahmarani and Olivier Gourmet were jointly awarded Best Actor, while Gabriel Arcand won Best Supporting Actor. This was both Ahmarani's and Arcand's second acting award as they both had previously won Best Actor for The Left-Hand Side of the Fridge (La moitié gauche du frigo) and Post Mortem respectively.
Céline Bonnier became the first actress to be nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress during the same ceremony twice, having previously achieved this feat two years earlier. She ended up winning Best Actress for Deliver Me (Délivrez-moi).
C.R.A.Z.Y., who had won fifteen awards the year before, extended its record by winning Most Successful Film Outside Quebec for the second year in a row.
