The Toronto Film Festival is over, giving us a brief respite before the next festival, New York Film Festival and the race has started to take shape. 12 Years a Slave has all but ran away with the buzz and won the Audience Award, overwhelming other movies in terms of praise and is looking locked and loaded for some nominations.
