TIFF 2026 concludes; awards season momentum builds

Overview

Following the conclusion of the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), the festival’s outcomes are beginning to shape the early awards season and the upcoming Oscar race.

‘La Bola Negra’ has emerged as a significant contender for Best Picture after winning the People’s Choice Award at TIFF. Other films gaining momentum in the awards conversation include the Elizabeth Holmes documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, as well as Amazon MGM’s ‘I Play Rocky’.

In the acting categories, Robert Pattinson is receiving attention for his performance in ‘Primetime’, while John Malkovich has been noted as a front-runner in the Best Actor race following recent festival screenings. As the focus shifts from Toronto to the New York Film Festival (NYFF), interest remains high for titles such as ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ and Tony Gilroy’s ‘Behemoth!’.
