Toronto Critics Prizes
Sunday, December 11, 2016 at 3:33PM Toronto Film Critics Association, our friends to the North established back in 1997, stuck with their Southern neighbors in embracing Moonlight and Manchester (2 prizes each) and the folks cross the ocean in loving all over Toni Erdmann (3 prizes). Their full list is after the jump and we're so glad The VVitch was finally honored. It took the home team (O Canada!) to finally get that done...
Picture Moonlight
Actress Sandra Hüller, Toni Erdmann
Actor Adam Driver, Paterson
The TFCA tends to feel just fine each year ignoring Oscar buzz for their lead acting prizes and for this we can't thank them enough. Critics organizations should disband if they're only there to comment on current Oscar buzz.
Supporting Actress Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea
Supporting Actor Mahershara Ali, Moonlight
That said historically they're more conservative in the supporting categories which is kind of funny because many US critics groups play it the opposite way
Director Maren Ade, Toni Erdmann
Screenplay Kenneth Lonergan, Manchester by the Sea
First Feature Robert Eggers, The Witch
Foreign Film Toni Erdmann
Documentary Cameraperson
Animated Feature Zootopia
Technicolor Clyde Gilmour Award Alanis Obomsawin the documentarian behind We Can't Make the Same Mistake Twice. This prize allows her to award a $50,000 grant to the artist of her choice.

Sandra Hüller and Maren Ade! Thank you TFCA!
Interesting choices Toronto, and with all this prize giving I must admit I'm really looking forward to seeing "Toni Erdmann".
