It’s happening. TIFF has announced its 2015 lineup, and with it, the actors we hope will be gracing our fair city with their glamorous presences.
We live for this. You, me, them -- the barista who served you coffee this morning. (Especially that barista.) If any event could encapsulate the sentiment of “In this moment, I swear we are infinite,” it is TIFF and its slew of attendees and the many nights most of us will linger outside of hotels we can’t possibly afford just to be able to tell our friends, “I totally saw Paul Dano.” (Which I did. Thanks for coming out.)
So to help you begin the intense planning process, here’s who should be in Toronto from September 10-20, 2015 as well as how we plan to categorize them.
