There was a sense that Night Raiders would have been the big winner if Scarborough hadn't been in the running. We talk about Canadian films taking chances. Scarborough did take those chances but in kind ways. Hopefully, Canadian audiences will get a chance to see this film.
All 5 Best motion picture nominees played at the Toronto International Film Festival. Night of the Kings | La nuit des rois played at the 2020 version while the other 4 films were at the 2021 festival.
Shout out to new feature length filmmakers: 40% of the Best First Feature Film Award films were also up for Best motion picture.
