‘ The Fabelmans’ Wins TIFF 2022 People’ s Choice Award

The coveted People s Choice Award has historically given a major Oscar boost to its recipients

Christian Zilko Sep 18, 2022 11:36 am Share This Article Reddit LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Print Talk “The Fabelmans” Screenshot: Universal Pictures After two weeks and dozens of movies, the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival has come to a close. At Sunday’s Awards Breakfast, all eyes were on the People’s Choice Award, which is frequently a bellwether for the Oscar race. For the past decade, every winner of the coveted award has gone onto receive a nomination for Best Picture. Competition for the People’s Choice Award was stiff, with critical darlings such as “Women Talking” and “The Banshees of Inisherin” vying for the top prize. But ultimately, Steven Spielberg’s crowd pleasing, semi-autobiographical film “The Fabelmans” was named the winner. "Above all, I am glad I brought this film to Toronto,” Spielberg said in a statement. “This is the most personal film I have made, and the warm reception from everyone in Toronto made my first visit to TIFF intimate and personal for me and my entire 'Fabelmans' family."
