Let it never be said that Montrealers aren’t on it when it comes to the arts. We pride ourselves on our taste and savvy, and that’s why our cultural landscape is the nation’s crown jewel (suck it, Toronto).

You’ve voted Goon co- stars and real-life pals Jay Baruchel and Marc- André Grondin into the top two places for acting, while cementing Xavier Dolan’s domination of the local film scene with Best Director and Best Local Film honours. It’s nice to see a few indie start-ups getting some love. Galleries Greenlight and Rats 9 are new on the scene, joining street-art-heavy Fresh Paint and Yves Laroche, as well as the highbrow, innovative programming at DHC, among our favourites. Meanwhile, Glam Gam’s enthusiastic campaigning helped them score Best Play, and they ranked high in the Best Theatre Company category as well—where circus- burlesque innovators Blood Ballet Cabaret also came up strong. But the big-budget touring exhibit Star Wars: Identities took best of the year, proving that geek love trumps indie cred.
