"Chloe Zhao's adaptation of Hamnet has won this year's people's choice award at the Toronto film festival. The acclaimed drama, based on Maggie O'Farrell's award-winning novel, stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal and tells a fictionalised account of William Shakespeare and wife Agnes as they grieve for their young son. The award has come to suggest future Oscar success with every recipient from 2011 to 2023 scoring either a best picture nomination or a win."
"Controversial documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue won the people's choice award for documentary. The film, which tells the story of an Israeli general and the fallout from 7 October 2023, led to protests in the city and had been briefly removed from the schedule for important safety, legal and programming concerns before it was re-added. In a mixed review for the Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Fienberg called it undeniably gripping but oversimplified with some disingenuous film-making choices."
Chloé Zhao's adaptation Hamnet won the Toronto Film Festival People's Choice Award. The drama, based on Maggie O'Farrell's novel, stars Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal and fictionalizes William Shakespeare and his wife Agnes grieving their young son. The award has historically correlated with Oscar recognition, with every People's Choice winner from 2011 to 2023 receiving a Best Picture nomination or win. Hamnet will be released later this year. Runners-up included Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. An international People's Choice went to Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice. The documentary People's Choice award went to The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue amid protests.
