BOYHOOD TRIUMPHS AS BIRDMAN LEFT OUT OF TORONTO CRITICS' AWARDS

The Toronto Film Critics Association once again asserts its superiority over the majority of similar critical organisations with its year-end awards. Its 2014 crop, ofc, contains Boyhood in no short supply, but Birdman is omitted from their selections in favour of a few comparatively struggling titles. Tom Hardy adds another Best Actor prize to his roster for Locke, following his win at LAFCA, while The Tale of the Princess Kaguya wins a long-awaited Best Animated Feature award.
