The Life of Chuck Wins TIFF People's Choice Award

Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's novella gains momentum for potential Oscar contention.

The Life of Chuck, directed by Mike Flanagan, won the People's Choice Award at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film, starring Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Mark Hamill, is based on a 2020 novella by Stephen King.
The People's Choice Award is often seen as a predictor of future Oscar success, though the film currently lacks a distributor.
The Life of Chuck explores the life of an ordinary man named Charles Krantz in reverse chronological order against an apocalyptic backdrop.
Other notable winners at the festival include Emilia Pérez and Anora, which were the first and second runners-up, respectively.
