The 15th Prix Jutra ceremony was held on March 17, 2013 at the Salle Pierre-Mercure theatre in Montreal, Quebec, to honour achievements in the Cinema of Quebec in 2012.[1]

War Witch (Rebelle) swept the ceremony, winning eight awards out of ten nominations, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay. It also won two acting awards, becoming the first film to win Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor for Rachel Mwanza and Serge Kanyinda respectively, who became the first black actress and actor to win an acting Jutra award. However, the film lost the award for Most Successful Film Outside Quebec to previous year's Best Film winner Monsieur Lazhar, which in turn had lost the same award to that year's previous Best Film winner Incendies. All three of these films were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Xavier Dolan's Laurence Anyways received a leading eleven nominations and won three awards, while Camion received two awards from eight nominations, including Best Actor for Julien Poulin. This was Poulin's second acting award, having previously won Best Supporting Actor for The Last Breath (Le dernier souffle).
