Now that the festival is over. Lets do look how well Toronto matches up with the Oscars. You ready? Allow me to be your stat master:
- 13 out of the last 14 People's Choice winners (PCW) have scored a Best Picture nomination.
- The last time the PCW failed to score a Best Picture nomination was 2011's Where Do We Go Now?. The streak is now 10-years and counting.
- 8 of the 13 winners won at least two Oscars.
- All 13 of them won at least one of the following awards: acting, directing, writing, producing.
- 5 of the 13 actually won Best Picture.
- Parasite, Spotlight and Argo did not win the People Choice Award, but they did manage runner-up recognition.
- All 13 of the winners received screenplay Oscar nominations. 8 of them went on to win a screenplay Oscar.
- 9 of the 13 won at least one acting Oscar.
- Slumdog Millionaire is the only recent PCW to score ZERO acting Oscar nominations.
- In 2011, A Separation was a runner-up and ended up scoring two Oscar nods. Won for Best Foreign-Language Film and nominated for Original Screenplay.
The runner-ups have done quite well too. Lets look at the notable ones:
2021 - The Power of the Dog
2020 - One Night in Miami
2019 - Parasite & Marriage Story
2018 - Roma & If Beale Street Could Talk
2017 - I, Tonya & Call Me By Your Name
2016 - Lion
2015 - Spotlight
2013 - Philomenia
2012 - Argo
2011 - A Separation
If statistics hold water, The Fablemans are looking at least one Oscar win. High probably of winning Original Screenplay and/or at least one acting Oscar. Things are also looking great for Women Talking and Glass Onion.
