Inside the TIFF Tribute Awards: Angelina Jolie Asks for No Photographs and Viggo Mortensen Decries David Cronenberg’s Oscar Snubs


The TIFF Tribute Awards honored the likes of Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, Selena Gomez and Amy Adams.

The Emmy and Oscar-winning actress, honored for her work in Apple’s “Disclaimer” helmed by auteur Alfonso Cuarón and also starring in Guy Maddin’s dystopic comedy “Rumours,” delivered one of the night’s most memorable lines while accepting her Impact Award, sponsored by Knix, an underwear company. “As Michelle Obama says, when I go low, you go high.” Blanchett’s humor added a playful tone to the typically formal evening, reminiscent of her speech at the Palm Springs gala, where she jokingly revealed Jamie Lee Curtis had flashed her en route to the event. Honored with a tribute presented by her “Arrival” director Denis Villeneuve, the star of Marielle Heller’s “Nightbitch” fought back tears while thanking her family and her tight-knit circle of friends and colleagues.
