Director Rob Reiner’s latest film “The Princess Bride” was a lonely American honoree among mostly Canadian award-winners at the Toronto Film Festival. The festival’s jury, announcing the prizes Sunday, gave “Princess Bride” the Labatt’s Award for the most popular film as voted by the audiences. The Toronto-CITY-TV Award, worth $25,000 (Canadian), went to Atom Egoyan for his “Family Viewing,” while Kay Armitage won the Canadian Award for her film “Artist on Fire.” The Critics Award--voted by the 400 journalists attending--went to French Canadian director Jean-Claude Lauzon for his “Night Zoo.”
