The 2013 Toronto International Film Festival is in the books, and earlier today, TIFF announced this year's award winners. The biggest award, the People's Choice Award, went to Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave. The People's Choice Award is a biggie in the overall awards race since four of the past five winners have gone on to be nominated for Best Picture (Slumdog Millionaire, Precious, The King's Speech, and Silver Linings Playbook). While 12 Years a Slave will be sure to dominate awards talk, I hope that people remember that this is a great movie regardless.
