TORONTO - Jonathan Glazer's "The Zone of Interest" has been named best picture of the year by the Toronto Film Critics Association.
Glazer also won the best director award for his surrealistic film about a Nazi commandant who tries to build an ideal life for his family next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Toronto critics gave the outstanding lead performance awards to Sandra Huller for "Anatomy of a Fall" and Lily Gladstone for "Killers of the Flower Moon" -- the first year that TFCA eliminated gender-based voting for acting categories.
The outstanding supporting performance winners were Ryan Gosling for "Barbie" and Da’Vine Joy Randolph for "The Holdovers."
The award for outstanding performance in a ºÃÉ«tv film, a new category, went to Glenn Howerton for his turn as Research in Motion CEO Jim Balsillie in "BlackBerry."
The finalists for the Rogers Best ºÃÉ«tv Film award are "BlackBerry," "Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person†and "SOLO;" while the Rogers Best ºÃÉ«tv Documentary finalists are “Rojek," "Someone Lives Here†and "Swan Song."
The two Rogers awards are worth $50,000 each and will be presented along with all other categories at a gala in Toronto on March 4, 2024.
