La La Land’ Wins Toronto International Film Festival People’s Choice Award – The Unsurprisingly (TIFF) Toronto International Film Festival has handed out its annual several prizes run with a star-studded awards brunch, while today’s TIFF Bell Lightbox, “La La Land” claimed the coveted People’s Choice Award, further confirming its status as the darling of the festival circuit so far.
Following a research from INDIEWIRE.com Often viewed as a harbinger of awards season glory, the TIFF People’s Choice Award winner has typically continued on to major Oscar attention. Since 2008, every single People’s Choice Award winner, save for 2011 winner “Where Do We Go Now?,” has been nominated for Best Picture. Of those titles, three — including “Slumdog Millionaire,” “The King’s Speech” and “12 Years a Slave” — have ultimately won the Oscar for Best Picture. Since TIFF’s creation in 1976, five People’s Choice Award winners have gone on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
