The annual Toronto International Film Festival has wrapped up, and they've sent out their big press release o' winners. As expected, you won't see The Fountain's name among any of them, so far it's 0-2 with festival crowds. You will however see movies like the controversial Bush killer Death of a President among their top picks. The controversy the movie has generated by portraying our current president's assassination and it's aftereffects has gotten it in the news, but an award from the Toronto crowd may mean it's more than just media hype.
