'Jojo Rabbit' wins Toronto Film Festival audience award, as Oscar season has few clear frontrunners
The buzz from the fall film festivals — Venice, Telluride and the just-wrapped Toronto — sometimes ends the Oscar best picture race even before the for-your-consideration billboards go up along Sunset Boulevard.
Toronto has three jury prizes, but its splashiest honor is the People’s Choice Award, an honor that has catapulted several films — “12 Years a Slave,” “The King’s Speech,” “Slumdog Millionaire” and, last year, “Green Book” — to the Academy Award for best picture. Ten of the last 11 winners have been nominated for best picture.Holocaust comedy “Jojo Rabbit” took the People’s Choice prize.
Three other studio films — Marielle Heller’s lovely “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” the sturdy legal drama “Just Mercy” and the $100-million period race car drama “Ford v Ferrari” — are also in play.
