The 2011 TFCA Awards will be presented at a gala dinner in the Round Room of Toronto’s historic Carlu on January 10, 2012, hosted by Cameron Bailey, co-director of the Toronto International Film Festival.
Two dramas that explored the lives of American families from a cosmic perspective emerged as the biggest winners of the 2011 awards of the Toronto Film Critics Association.
The Tree of Life’s transcendental epic about boyhood and the end of innocence in 1950s Texas won Best Picture, while Terrence Malick was named Best Director. Also honoured with two TFCA awards was Take Shelter: Michael Shannon won Best Actor for his portrayal of a father plagued by apocalyptic visions, and Jessica Chastain was named Best Supporting Actress for her role as his conflicted spouse.
The three pictures nominated by TFCA members are: Cafe de Flore, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, A Dangerous Method, directed by David Cronenberg, and Monsieur Lazhar, directed by Philippe Falardeau. David Cronenberg will also be on hand to present a special award.
