Meryl Streep, Joaquin Phoenix and Roger Deakins honored at Toronto Film Festival's first tribute gala
rolled out the red carpet Monday night for its inaugural TIFF Tribute Gala, a fundraiser and awards-season launcher that feted a select group of cinema changemakers and included both inspiring and surprising moments.
“Roma” star Yalitza Aparicio presented the Tribute Impact Award to Participant Media, pointing to its unity of “art and activism” in more than 100 feature and documentary films produced over the past 15 years. After a day of interviews, Streep said the most common question is, as always, how she picks scripts. “Usually it’s because of the people,” she said. “And when armed with material that’s compelling you have to ask yourself — does this help? Does this need to be in the world?
Accepting the Tribute Actor Award, Phoenix said the clip montage made him think of all the people who helped and supported him in his acting career, which he began at age eight, in particular his family: “My mother is a constant source of inspiration, and everything I do, I do for her.”
