"Tsotsi," the British-South African drama about six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader, captured the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, which closed Saturday. The runner-up film for the People's Choice Award was "Mother of Mine," a drama about a mother and son in war-torn Finland says The Hollywood Reporter.

Other award winners in Toronto included the Discovery Award, voted on by the festival's press corps, going to "Look Both Ways," Australian director Sarah Watt's portrait of characters enduring a scorchingly hot weekend. The best Canadian feature award went to Quebec director Jean-Marc Vallee's "C.R.A.Z.Y.," a cinematic homage to 1970s pop culture.
