The TIFF award winning movies for 2019 have just been announced. After 245 feature films over 11 days, the Toronto International Film Festival certainly had a lot to choose from.
2019 is already proving to be a banner year for cinema, with loads of previous festival faves and new discoveries making a splash at this year's fest.
Some were great, some not, yet TIFF seemed to have many films that had people talking. Predictions are always hard, and this year there wasn't a super clear front runner before the big prize was handed out.
Here are the list of winners from TIFF 2019.
- People's Choice Award: Jojo Rabbit by Taika Waititi
- People's Choice Award runner's up: Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach and Parasite by Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite
- People's Choice Documentary Award: The Cave directed by Feras Fayyad
- People's Choice Midnight Madness Award: The Platform by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia
- Toronto Platform Prize: Martin Eden by Pietro Marcello
- NETPAC Award for World or International Asian Film Premiere: 1982 by Oualid Mouaness
- Best Canadian Feature Film: Antigone by Sophie Deraspe
- Best Canadian First Feature Film: The Twentieth Century by Matthew Rankin

- Best Short Film: All Cats Are Grey in the Dark by Lasse Linder
There are free screenings to see all the award winners today, but tickets seem to have quickly sold out when they were released to the public at 10 a.m.
