I should have noted this earlier, but here’s to the Toronto Film Critics Association for ignoring the Zelig impulse, standing up like men of character and cojones and giving their Best Picture award to Kelly Reichardt‘s Wendy and Lucy. The two runnners-up were Rachel Getting Married and WALL*E.
Wendy and Lucy‘s Michelle Williams was named Best Actress, Jonathan Demme was named Best Director for Rachel Getting Married, Rachel‘s Jenny Lumet won for Best Screenplay, Rachel‘s Rosemarie DeWitt won Best Supporting Actress, Mickey Rourke took the Best Actor award for The Wrestler and the late Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for his work in The Dark Knight.
