Mike Flanagan's film 'The Life of Chuck,' adapted from a Stephen King novella and starring Tom Hiddleston, won the People's Choice Award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This prestigious award is often seen as an indicator of potential Oscar nominations, as past winners frequently receive Academy Award recognition. Despite the honor, 'The Life of Chuck' currently lacks distribution, which raises questions about its future release. The second and third runners-up were Jacques Audiard's 'Emilia Pérez' and Sean Baker's 'Anora,' respectively, both of which had premiered at Cannes. Additionally, the top documentary award went to 'The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal.' TIFF's audience-driven voting process distinguishes it from other film festivals, emphasizing viewer engagement over jury selection.
