Toronto and Phoenix Split Between 'Boyhood' and 'Birdman'

Toronto went with the consensus in Best Film, but liked Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard in the top acting categories, as well as Studio Ghibli's The Tale of Princess Kaguya in Animated Feature, a nice little break from The Lego Movie's domination there.
