I’ve got several planes backed up on the runway (and by that I mean movies to write about lined up in my head) from this year’s Toronto Film Festival — plus a couple posts’ worth of photos — but for now, here are the official TIFF 2007 award winners. I’ll have a list of the best of my fest soon. Now I gotta catch a plane…
