Oscar contenders often get their big break at Toronto film fest


Zach Braff loves film festivals, which is why he will be taking a break from work on his final season of Scrubs to head to Ontario this week for the Toronto International Film Festival. The 31st annual edition of the festival will open Thursday and run through Sept. 16. 

Braff describes himself as "movie mad", but unlike the thousands of visitors, seeing some of the fest's 352 films is his second priority. His first order of business at North America's largest and most prestigious film festival will be introducing The Last Kiss, which will have its premiere as one of the festival's 21 special gala presentations before opening in major markets on Sept. 15.
