Toronto Line-up

[Big Magilla]

IMDb. now lists 276 films to be shown at this year's festival.

Of the films that do not already have 2023 Oscar qualifying runs, does anyone think that there are any that could/should/would be given a qualifying run based on a strong reaction?

Lee (Kate Winslet) and One Life (Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter) have already been speculated about but given the strong contenders we already have in the lead acting categories, there is probably little incentive for them to be rushed into early release.

Other possibilities include Hit Man (Richard Linklater), The End We Start From (Jodie Comer, Bendict Cumberbatch), The New Boy (Cate Blanchett), and Memory (Jessica Chastain). Any others?

Here's the complete list. Please check release dates before commenting.

Hard to say if this is affected by the strikes, as Toronto has kind of faded as major debut spot in recent years, Tomorrow's Venice announcement will give us a better idea of what the Fall schedule will bring. In any case, a few touted titles (notably The Holdovers) show up, despite the absence of actors to promote them.
