We have been very lucky in terms of some of the key films that have come out of Toronto. ''Kings Speech,'' ''Hurt Locker,'' Slum Dog Millionaire.'' I think we have had five of the last six Best Picture (Oscar) winners come premiere at the festival. It''s a great track record and I know the studios, everyone, pays attention to that. A lot of those films have gone on to make more than one hundred million dollars. That is a box office target that gets the studios and major business people to pay attention.

David is going to get serious Oscar attention for this film and three actors in particular. ''Dangerous Method'' is wonderful. Sarah Polley''s film ''Take This Waltz'' I think  also a terrific films so two Canadians films at the top. I think Glen Close in ''Albert Nobbs'' is a very fine film. Our closing night film ''Page Eight'', I love Bill Nighy.  A really smart political film. Brad Pitt ''Money Ball'' is a terrific sports film, but its about much more than sports. George Clooney has done a wonderful job directing ''Ides of March'' he is brilliant in the film, it''s about a political campaign.

I worked on different ideas. In the end, they (TIFF) liked the spray cans. So I came up that they will always be a part of a film. So I did a comedy one, a scary one made as a spray can. I came up with, how do you say? The mounted police (laughs). The mounted police because I felt that we need something more. The cans was good, but I... I think of a festival. A lot of people. Pictures. This is to make you remember we are in Toronto.  Reporter: So they are a film crew?) Yes. Exactly. They are the police but they are very iconic to your eyes. You don''t see this in America. You don''t see this in France. You see this only here in Canada and Toronto. Its special.. When you take a photo you know here you are. \u003cbr/\u003e15.

First, there''s the family drama \"The Descendants\" from director Alexander Payne (\"Sideways\") and \"The Ides of March,\" a political drama which Clooney directed and also plays a presidential candidate opposite Ryan Gosling. \u003cbr/\u003eHandling says he sees some clear Oscar contenders from this year''s films.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Piles of films. The opening film which is the the Davis Guggenheim U2 documentary ''From The Sky Down'' a look at a band on the cusp of a creative change. To David Cronenberg''s ''A Dangerous Method.''

Directed by Bennett Miller, \"Moneyball\" casts Pitt as Oakland A''s general manager Billy Beane, who rebuilt his team on a shoestring budget using a statistical approach to find under-appreciated players. \u003cbr/\u003eHandling does not yet have confirmation about whether Angelina Jolie will join Pitt for his premiere but if she does he''s sure it will be a big deal.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I was here when the Brangelina phenomenon happened three or four years ago we closed down Young street.
