Over the past nine years, every big winner at TIFF has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture.
Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast” won the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday night. The award is often seen as an indicator for the Oscars, as the winner of the past nine years received an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. This includes last year’s winner “Nomadland”, which took home the best picture award. Check out the full list of TIFF 2021 winners below.
The winner of the People’s Choice Award based on votes, as revealed at the ceremony, was between “The Power of the Dog”, “Belfast” and “Scarborough”.
