Results of Indiewire's TIFF polls released, and they're quite interesting

I love that "Up in the Air" got love here, but what's really shocking is that "A Serious Man" actually came in first, AND its star, the unknown Michael Stuhlberg, came in third in the Best Lead Performance category. Nice to see some more love for Colin Firth and Tilda Swinton as well.
