Toronto film critics have chosen the crime thriller “No Country for Old Men” as the best film of 2007 while Sarah Polley’s “Away from Her” was named best Canadian film and its star, Julie Christie, tied for best actress of the year with Halifax’s Ellen Page.

Angela Baldassarre — film critic, founding member of the Toronto Film Critics Association, wife, mother and a very good friend — passed away November 15th, 2007. I am writing this appreciation for her colleagues in FIPRESCI because, were it not for Angie, I wouldn’t know any of you. Angie brought the Toronto critics into the organization, placing us on film-festival juries around the world and helping our fairly insular group make new connections and new friends.
Stephen Frears’ royal drama The Queen has been named Best Picture for 2006 by the Toronto Film Critics Association. It beat out other nominees The Departed and United 93 for the honour.
