The 42nd Felix Awards were held on November 1, 2010 to honour achievements in Quebec music. The ceremony was hosted by Louis-José Houde.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the ceremony was conducted under social distancing protocols; Houde joked that when he agreed to host the ceremony for the fifteenth time, he did not know that it would be "a PowerPoint at the Sheraton". Only nominees themselves were permitted in the theatre, and were seated at tables spaced six feet apart, and rather than winners coming up to the stage to accept their awards, the trophies were delivered directly to their tables by masked waiters.
