The Venice Film Festival, which we discussed last week, might give way to some Oscar contenders, but the Toronto International Film Festival is where the awards season really begins. After all, the last five Picture winners played at the fest. If that trend continues, one hoping to find this year’s eventual Picture winner must look no further than this year’s Toronto roster (Note: potential contenders playing at both Venice and Toronto were covered last week and will not be featured in this week’s Toronto preview).
The fest runs from September 6 through September 16 this year and includes at least seven features that might make waves with the Academy.
Anna Karenina - Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Matthew Macfadyen
Cloud Atlas - Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent
Quartet - Dustin Hoffman directs, Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon
Great Expectations - Helena Bonham Carter
