The 30th Toronto International Film Festival ran from September 8–17 and screened 335 films from 52 countries - 109 of these films were world premieres, and 78 were North American premieres. Awards At the Festival's closing event, the following prizes were awarded: The People's Choice Award, presented to Gavin Hood's Tsotsi. The Discovery Award, presented to Sarah Watt's Look Both Ways. The Fipresci Prize, presented to South Korean director Kang Yi-kwan for Sa-kwa. A tie for the Citytv Award for Best Canadian First Feature, presented to Louise Archambault's Familia and Michael Mabbott's The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico. The Toronto – City Award for Best Canadian Feature Film, presented to C.R.A.Z.Y. directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. The Bravo!FACT Short Cuts Canada Award, presented to Renuka Jeyapalan's Big Girl (Honourable mention to Andrea Dorfman's There's a Flower in My Pedal). Because the vote for the People's Choice Award was so close, at the awards ceremony Piers Handling (festival co-director) announced four runners-up. However, in the subsequent reporting there was confusion about the order of the runners-up. As reported by ScreenDaily, the results of the People's Choice Award voting was as follows: winner - Tsotsi (dir. Gavin Hood) 2nd place - Live and Become (dir. Radu Mihaileanu) 3rd place - Dreamer: Inspired By A True Story (dir. John Gatins) 4th place - Brokeback Mountain (dir. Ang Lee) 5th place - Mother of Mine (dir. Klaus Härö) Certain other publications indicated (probably erroneously) that the order of the runners-up was reversed, with Mother of Mine finishing second to Tsotsi.
