"A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."
The Toronto International Film Festival kicks off Thursday (and runs until September 15), which means it's that time of year when the awards-season movies begin to come into focus.
The festival is always one of the spots where studios, distributors, and streamers bring the films they think are worthy of Academy Awards, and this year is no different.
Sony's "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood," starring Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers; Fox Searchlight's Taika Waititi Nazi satire, "Jojo Rabbit"; Warner Bros.' look at the birth of DC Comics' biggest villain, "Joker"; and Fox's race-car biopic starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, "Ford v Ferrari" are just some of the titles playing at this year's festival hoping to build enough buzz to kick off an Oscar campaign.
Here are 16 movies playing at the fest this year that you should keep an eye out for when they hit theaters later this year:
