Toronto Film Critics Network with Banksy, Uncle Boonmee

As has become the norm lately, the Toronto Film Critics Association chooses David Fincher’s The Social Network for Best Picture, Director, Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Screenplay. But surprisingly, graffiti artist Banksy’s subversive Exit Through the Gift Shop walks away with two prizes, Documentary and First Feature. Meanwhile, the BP runners-up include not only Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, but Palme d’Or winner Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, which also takes home the Foreign Film prize.
