\n\tThe People\u2019s Choice Award from the just-wrapped 50th\u00a0Toronto<\/a>\u00a0Film Festival has gone to Chlo\u00e9 Zhao\u2019s Hamnet<\/a>,\u00a0first runner-up is Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein\u00a0<\/a>and second runner-up is Rian Johnson\u2019s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery<\/a>. Hamnet<\/a> hails from Focus Features, while latter two are from Netflix.<\/p>\n \n\tAlso in the awards revealed Sunday, the newly created International People\u2019s Choice Award went to Park Chan-wook\u2019s No Other Choice<\/a>. The Documentary winner was Barry Avrich\u2019s The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue<\/a>. <\/p>\n \n\tVoted on by audience members since 1978 and often considered a harbinger for the Best Picture Oscar, the\u00a0People\u2019s Choice Award has been won by such eventual Best Picture Academy Award winners as\u00a0Nomadland,\u00a0Green Book,\u00a012 Years a Slave,\u00a0The King\u2019s Speech,\u00a0Slumdog Millionaire,\u00a0American Beauty\u00a0and\u00a0Chariots of Fire.\u00a0Among those that went on to Best Picture nominations include last year\u2019s winner\u00a0American Fiction\u00a0as well as\u00a0The Fabelmans,\u00a0Belfast,\u00a0JoJo Rabbit,\u00a0Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri,\u00a0Room,\u00a0La La Land,\u00a0The Imitation Game,\u00a0Silver Linings Playbook,\u00a0Precious,\u00a0Life Is Beautiful,\u00a0Places in the Heart\u00a0and\u00a0The Big Chill.<\/p>\n \n\tLast year\u2019s surprise winner, The Life of Chuck, had no North American distributor in place and was later picked up by Neon and released this summer, making it Oscar eligible this year, just as the new People\u2019s Choice winner is. So we shall see how the tradition of TIFF<\/a> and Oscar hold up in this regard.\u00a0Last year both the first runner-up Emilia P\u00e9rez and second runner-up Anora went on to a collective 19 Oscar nominations between them, both nominated for Best Picture, with Anora winning<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tHamnet is a\u00a0historical drama co-written, co-edited and directed by Zhao, based on Maggie O\u2019Farrell\u2019s 2020 novel. Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal star in the emotionally charged drama that premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and had its international premiere at TIFF. It is considered a major Oscar contender from Focus and represents Zhao\u2019s second People\u2019s Choice Award at TIFF after 2020\u2019s Nomadland, which went on to win the Best Picture Oscar.<\/p>\n \n\tThe pic is set for a limited Thanksgiving release November 27 and a wide release starting December 12.<\/p>\n \n\tHere is the list of this year\u2019s TIFF award winners:<\/p>\n \t\tPeople\u2019s Choice Award<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n \n\tHamnet<\/strong>, dir.
