After being halted or held virtually in 2020 and 2021, there is a lot of excitement for this year's event.

The fall festivals signal the start of awards season and frequently reveal which films will contend for Oscars.

Many films exhibited at TIFF, which began in 1976, have usually gone on to win Oscars.

Instead, it polls the audience for votes in a public ballot before giving a "People's Choice" reward.

It has already had its Venice debut, and early comments have put Fraser at the top of the list for a possible best actor award. Thursday evening marks the official start of the Toronto International Film Festival.
