Toronto International Film Festival took place despite not having a huge lineup of films.
TIFF took place amidst the ongoing COVID-19 and winners list was unveiled.
A number of Jury awards, including the much-spoken-about People's Choice awards, were handed out. For the uninformed, the film which wins a People's Choice Award at TIFF is often likely to get at least a nomination at the Oscars.
