The festival? They are going to do a mix of physical and digital screenings. There’s also going to be drive-ins and the usual press conferences.

Most of the early contenders are from Netflix and they are not going to any festival this year.

Top 3 is probably going to be like this:

1. Nomadland
2. One Night in Miami
3. The Father

I guess one of the films that haven’t premiered yet could sneak in but I doubt it.

Also, TIFF will be giving their tribute actor awards to Kate Winslet and Anthony Hopkins. Last year recipients were Meryl Streep and Joaquin Phoenix so there’s a fun trend these could follow.
