Several Canadians came away with first-time Oscar wins at the Academy Awards Sunday night.
It’s the first career Oscar for Polley, whose film also received a best picture nomination but lost to the interdimensional drama “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Polley adapted the script from Manitoba author Miriam Toews’ 2018 novel of the same name. The movie’s ensemble cast includes Rooney Mara, Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley. Fraser’s portrayal of a shut-in professor looking to connect with his estranged daughter earned praise, though the film has been criticized for its depiction of the main character’s weight.“I started in this business 30 years ago and things didn’t come easily for me,” he said on stage, accepting his first Oscar.
Along with Polley, another Toronto filmmaker took home hardware Sunday — director Daniel Roher’s “Navalny” won best documentary.
