The key to winning the coveted Grolsch People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival? Please everybody! Funnily enough, that's a pretty good key to winning that other big award at the end of February that we can't seem to stop obsessing over - it's no wonder that seven of the last eight TIFF People's Choice picks went on to claim Oscar nominations for Best Picture, three of them winning the actual award. This year's winner is the beloved musical La La Land from Whiplash director Damien Chazelle, though it's not the only award that has been bestowed upon one of the many titles screening at the festival this year. The official Platform jury declared Pablo Larrain's Jackie Kennedy biopic Jackie their top pick from their selection, while a handful of other juries also chimed in. Check out all of their choices below:
