If you even saw Peter Farrelly's trailer Green paperyou will probably not be surprised that the drama of the coming period has won the Toronto International Film Festival's People's Choice Award. Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen are the stars of the film, the first of which is November 21, with black pianist Don Shirley and driver Tony Lip, two opposing poles whose friendship blossoms slowly in the southern United States. Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street could speak and Alfonso Cuarón Roma were the first and second finalists in People's Choice respectively.

A People's Choice victory at TIFF is often considered the first step towards Oscars-city. For example, last year Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri received the award before winning seven Oscar nominations, including the best film, even if the best film winner The shape of the water was not among the top three TIFF contenders. For other Toronto categories, Vasan Bala The man who feels no pain received the Midnight Madness People's Choice Award, with David Gordon Green Halloween and Sam Levinson Nation of assassination take second and third place. In the documentary category, Climbing doctor E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin Free Solo won the Documentary People's Choice Award, with Tom Donahue It changes everything and John Chester The largest small farm just behind.
