Director Taika Waititi, who also wrote the film, plays a cartoonish version of Adolf Hitler who's the boy's imaginary friend. "Jojo Rabbit" beat out Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story," the first runner up, and Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite." Even People's Choice picks that grab the top Oscar often wind up major players in the awards race. Recent winners "La La Land," "Room" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" all scooped up trophies at other major awards events, including the Golden Globes.
The $30,000 Canada Goose Award for best Canadian feature film went to Sophie Deraspe's "Antigone," a modern take on Sophocles' Greek tragedy set in Montreal. The Riviere-du-Loup, Que,-raised director's film was praised by critics, with many pointing out newcomer Nahema Ricci's first role as a standout.

Your editor had no right to call PPC members nazis. I'm a member, I am not a nazi, no one I know is. None of the party members or candidates I met. He even called MaximeBernier Nazi Scum.
