Did you know that every Academy Award winner for the Best Picture category since 2007 has been screened in some capacity at the Toronto International Film Festival? So, you might say that the Toronto International Film Festival is a good indicator for Oscar buzz! Out of the many movies being screened this year at TIFF, The Huffington Post tells us which eleven movies have the most to gain at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Check out some of the movies below:
1. Labor Day
Paramount Pictures has plenty of time to turn Labor Day into a major awards contender. The film isn’t set for release until December 2013, but a good showing in Toronto could go a long way toward making Reitman’s Oscar hopeful stand out among high profile year-end releases.

2. Gravity
Critics from other Film Festivals have been praising Alfonso Cuaron‘s Gravity starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. The Warner Bros. film could be a top contender for Best Picture.

In this film by Steve McQueen, the first wave of festival reviews were great. If everything follows according to that path at the Toronto International Film Festival screening, expect any and all early Oscar buzz to reverberate around the Fox Searchlite release.
