As the Toronto International Film Festival draws to a close, the coveted People's Choice Award has been awarded to The Imitation Game, the World War II code-breaking drama, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
The People's Choice Award is often a predictor of the Academy Award for Best Picture, as was the case with last years' 12 Years a Slave, as well as The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire and American Beauty.
The Imitation Game, based on the life of mathematician Alan Turing, is directed by Norwegian Morten Tyldum (Headhunters), and also features Keira Knightley, Mark Strong, Charles Dance and Matthew Goode.
How will The Imitation Game fare beyond the festival world? We'll find out when the picture opens on November 21st.
