VIFF announced its popular choice award today, and it's one more accolade for the Iranian entry, A separation. It's a sure nomination for A separation comes Oscar time, but will it win?
As for me, I've seen a total of 21 films this time around, and here's my own Cinemap list of winners:
Best directing
The Kid with a bike (Dardene & Dardene)
Runner up: Kaurismäki for Le Havre, Farhadi for A separation

I suppose only the awards for a film festival could have a category for the most WTF/Surreal film. :D
I haven't seen any of these films you saw. Hadn't even heard of some of them. No idea when I'll be able to see any of them either, sadly.. :(
Well I think you should be able to, as many of them come from Europe and U.S.A.? At least you're going to see A separation and The Artist, as they'd be players when the Oscar is here?
