Other winners for TFCA gongs include Carol for Best Film and Best Director for Todd Haynes, while Tom Hardy proved to be the Meryl Streep of the TFCA by winning back to back honours for his awful turn in Legend after winning for Locke last year. In an inspired move (which I actually called almost two weeks ago in a conversation over cocktails!), the TFCA gave its Best Actress prize to Nina Hoss and her knockout performance in Phoenix.
The awards will be presented in January. In addition to
announcing the winner of the Rogers Best Canadian Film Awards, TFCA will also
dish out $5000 for the Stella Artois Jay Scott Prize for an emerging artist and
the Manulife Student Film Award, both of which’ll be announced at a
later date.
