Toronto Film Critics Association<\/em><\/p>\n

Capping a year in which issues of race and gender loomed large, the Toronto Film Critics Association has awarded Best Picture<\/strong> to Moonlight<\/em>, by American director Barry Jenkins, a lyrical and nuanced coming-of-age story about a gay African-American male coming to terms with his sexuality. The film was also honoured with a Best Supporting Actor<\/strong> Award for Mahershala Ali.<\/p>\n

The awards were voted by TFCA members at a meeting on Sunday, December 11, 2016.<\/p>\n

The TFCA, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, gave its Best Director<\/strong> Award to German filmmaker Maren Ade for her epic father-daughter comedy, Toni Erdmann<\/em>. The film, due to be released in Canada early in the new year, won the most prizes, also taking Best Foreign Language Film<\/strong> and Best Actress<\/strong> for Sandra H\u00fcller.<\/p>\n

Best Actor<\/strong> went to Adam Driver as a bus-driving poet in Jim Jarmusch\u2019s Paterson<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Writer-director Kenneth Lonergan\u2019s elegiac drama, Manchester by the Sea<\/em>, won two awards\u2014Best Screenplay<\/strong> and Best Supporting Actress<\/strong> for Michelle Williams.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Canadian Tire Allan King Documentary Award<\/strong>, which comes with a $5,000 cheque, went to Cameraperson<\/em>, an innovative documentary memoir directed by New York cinematographer Kirsten Johnson.<\/p>\n

Zootopia<\/em>, a satirical tale of a world run by animals directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, was named the year\u2019s Best Animated Feature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The membership also chose the three finalists for the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award<\/strong>: How Heavy This Hammer<\/em>, directed by Kazik Radwanski; Operation Avalanche<\/em>, directed by Matt Johnson, and The Stairs<\/em>, directed by Hugh Gibson (who was also one of two runners-up for the documentary award). The winner will be named at the TFCA Awards Gala, to be held at The Carlu in Toronto January 10, 2017.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Stella Artois Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist, to be announced at a later date, will be presented with a $5,000 cheque at the gala.<\/p>\n

As previously announced, the 2016 recipient of the Technicolor Clyde Gilmour Award<\/strong> is Alanis Obomsawin, the veteran NFB filmmaker of such landmark films as Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance<\/em>. She will present Amanda Strong (Four Faces of the Moon<\/em>, Indigo<\/em>, Mia<\/em>), a young filmmaker of her choice, with $50,000 worth of services from Technicolor at the gala.<\/p>\n

The 2016 TFCA Awards Gala will be co-hosted by Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of the Toronto International Film Festival, and performer extraordinaire Mary Walsh. There the TFCA will reveal the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Award<\/strong>, which carries a record-setting $100,000 cash prize, the richest film award in the country. The runners-up will each receive $5,000.<\/p>\n

At the gala the TFCA will also present director Denis Villeneuve with the 20th Anniversary Special Award for Excellence, recognizing his record win of three Rogers Best Canadian Film Awards (for Polytechnique<\/em>, Incendies<\/em> and Enemy<\/em>), and saluting his extraordinary success in making original and powerful films within the Hollywood system without compromising his independent vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s winning films not only signalled themes of diversity,\u201d said TFCA President Brian D. Johnson, \u201cthey represented a wide diversity of filmmaking styles. Moonlight<\/em>, Manchester by the Sea<\/em>, and Toni Erdmann<\/em>\u00a0run the gamut from grim drama to riotous comedy, yet they all are highly original films that take radical departures from convention.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Under the TFCA\u2019s guidelines, contenders eligible for the awards include films released in Canada in 2016 plus films that qualify for the 2016 Oscars and have Canadian distribution scheduled by the end of February 2017.)<\/p>\n

The TFCA is extremely grateful to founding sponsor Rogers Communications Inc. and Labatt\u2019s for the Stella Artois Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist and welcomes new sponsors, Canadian Tire and Taxi. Thanks to returning sponsors Cineplex, Technicolor Creative Services, Globe and Mail, Shangri-La Hotel Toronto, Birks and Ontario Media Development Corporation.<\/p>\n

The TFCA Awards gala will take place in the historic art-deco Round Room at The Carlu, with cuisine provided by chef Christopher Palik, Executive Chef, O&B and The Carlu. A cocktail reception sponsored by Cineplex will precede the dinner and awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Film Critics Association was established in 1997 and is comprised of Toronto based journalists and broadcasters who specialize in film criticism and commentary. All major dailies, weeklies and a variety of other print, electronic and web outlets are represented. Members of the TFCA also participate in the Federation of International Film Critics (FIPRESCI).
