The Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone film La La Land has been stirring up a storm of awards buzz lately, snagging prizes and earning rave reviews around the world. Now that TIFF has wrapped, it adds one more credit to its growing resumé.
At the star-studded awards brunch today (Sunday, Sept. 18), TIFF's most prestigious award — the People's Choice Award — was given to Damien Chazelle's musical. It topped runners-up Lion and Queen of Katwe.
Since 2008, every People's Choice Award winner (with the exception of 2011's honoree, Where Do We Go Now?) has been nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. Slumdog Millionaire, The King's Speech and 12 Years a Slave ultimately went on to win the coveted Academy Award.
The other People's Choice winners announced today include Ben Wheatley's Free Fire in the Midnight Madness category, and Raoul Peck's I Am Not Your Negro in the Documentary race.
For those in Toronto, TIFF will host a free screening of La La Land tonight at 6 p.m. at Roy Thomson Hall. Tickets will be available at the venue on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 4 p.m.

I didn't like it, it was strange. I didn't think there was anything good at TIFF this year, nothing worthy of an Oscar nomination
