The first runner-up for the TIFF19 People’s Choice award was Noah Baumbach’s MarriageStory, and the second runner-up was Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite

Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit” has won the coveted People’s Choice Award at this year’sThe honor positions the film for a potential Oscar run and bolsters its awards chances. That’s good news for Fox Searchlight, which must have been disappointed by the lackluster critical reception for the movie, a dark comedy set in the waning days of the Nazi Empire.

Awards sages believe that “Marriage Story” could score a Best Picture Oscar nod along with nominations for Baumbach’s direction and screenplay, as well as for the performances of Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, and Laura Dern. “Parasite” seems destined to be a Best International Feature Film prize and could even elbow into the Best Picture and Best Director categories.

This year’s festival included several splashy premieres. “Hustlers,” “Joker,” and “Just Mercy” were among the big studio releases that raised their profiles by screening in Canada.

Toronto 2019: ‘Jojo Rabbit,’ The Hitler Comedy Taika Waititi Was Born to MakeOne of the fest’s most divisive films tries to weaponize a WWII coming-of-age story with sick humor—and largely succeeds I know Mel Brooks pulled off Hitler and comedy back in the 70’s but in todays social hurricane I see nothing where you could combine the two. But then again with the growing anti-Israel and anti-Semite sentiment maybe...SJW’s are a weird bunch. I know its just a movie, but in todays social climate Hitler and comedy seems to be beyond a stretch, yet alone even winning any kind of award. I guess the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attitude must be gaining traction in Hollyweird. Sounds about White... This would be true if he didn't bury his brown skin in WhiteFace like the sell-out to POC he is
