TIFF Film Winners of 2012 - I Didn't see a single one!

Just a few days ago I was in Toronto enjoying the film festival and feeling confident that at least one of the 17 titles I saw would win a festival prize. But that was not to be as shockingly, I saw NONE of the winners this year. It's a shame really because I saw some great films, however, out of the original 58 titles I was interested in, still, only a few of the actual winners was on that list. Oh well, it's all good.
