Love you, Toups.

To start, the major CANNES winners from May!

Palme d'Or: Winter Sleep (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)

Grand Prix: The Wonders (Alice Rohrwacher)

Jury Prize: TIE; Mommy (Xavier Dolan) & Goodbye to Language (Jean Luc Godard)

Director: Bennett Miller (Foxcatcher)

Screenplay: Andrey Zvyagintsev & Oleg Negin (Leviathan)

Actor: Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner)

Actress: Julianne Moore (Maps to the Stars)

The Toronto International Film Festival ends tomorrow, so their awards will be posted in the next couple days.

I was so happy to see Julianne Moore get recognized at Cannes. She always comes out like a bridesmaid at the major awards so to see her finally win a big one was awesome. And my love for Xavier Dolan knows no bounds, so him pulling out the Jury Prize, when he was in such an underrated position to do so, was inspiring.

Now that it seems "Serena" is finally getting released, I have to wonder if JLaw will snag another nom. Looks really good.

I thought it looked like a huge snooze alert. She'll probably lazily get another nomination, definitely of a Golden Globe at least, this one undeserved. Plus, Bradley Cooper does not work in that role at all. Of course, I only formed my opinion from the trailer alone, so I reserve the right to change my mind if need be.

Bright Eyes - the trailer was a little boring, however, I doubt the movie will be. Have you read the book? Serena is literally one of the most evil/deranged characters out there. Not sure why the trailer downplayed that (probably to try to convince audiences this is another Bradly/JLaw "love affair" story), but if the script is halfway decent, JLaw will earn that Oscar nom. Serena is a great character.

Yeah, the trailer didn't give that off at all. I had heard about her playing that type of character in an upcoming film, but I wasn't sure if it was this one. Personally, Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones for The Theory of Everything are who I will be rooting for this awards season.

YAY! I have no clue what is good yet or who I will be rooting for... I just want some people to emerge as Oscar contenders.

Yeah, I'm not sure why the trailer downplays that. Hopefully we will get a different version that incorporates it.

I really want to see The Theory of Everything.

So the People's Choice Award is the top prize at TIFF?

Yes. 12 Years a Slave won last year. I think it's a safe bet that The Imitation Game will at least get nominated for Best Picture. Benedict Cumberbatch may snag his first Oscar nod and since they have nominated her before, Keira Knightley could be in the running for a nomination as well.

Deauville doesn't give a strong glimpse for Best Picture at the Oscars, but it does further the acclaim for Whiplash, which also won big at Sundance and helps Miles Teller's chances of being nominated. Some are saying JK Simmons could land himself a supporting nomination as well. At the very least, you'll probably see Whiplash garner some Independent Spirit Award nominations.

Deauville Film Festival - http://www.festival-deauville.com/DEV/index.php?pid=79

Grand Prize: Whiplash

Jury Prize: The Good Lie

--

The International Critics Award went to David Robert Mitchell's It Follows, who has ATWT alum Jake Weary (Kim Zimmer's son) amongst its cast. (P.S. These awards were given out about the same time as TIFF.)

The 18th Hollywood Awards aired Friday night. A full list of winners - http://www.hollywoodawards.com/winners/

Film: Gone Girl

Director: Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game)

Actor: Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game)

Actress: Julianne Moore (Still Alice)

Supporting Actor: Robert Duvall (The Judge)

Supporting Actress: Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game)

The Skins fan in me is ecstatic that Jack O'Connell is really making a name for himself. It's so great to see a favourite actor rise and rise.

They gave Eddie Redmayne the breakthrough actor award, so it seems he and Cumberbatch are the biggest obstacles to winning an Oscar in the best actor category.

Please, for the love of God, let this be Julianne Moore's year. I am hoping so hard.
