I'm so glad that TIFF is finally over! It's not that I didn't enjoy myself but I'm so exhausted from trying to do too much (work, volunteer, see movies, socialize, visit with my family).
Here's my Celebrity Encounters/Sightings at TIFF:
- Roger Ebert (as noted on Sept 9/05)
- Jamie Babbit (the director of But I'm a Cheerleader, one of my favourite movies) and her adorable baby. Oh yeah, I also saw her movie The Quiet which was pretty good (although I'm not into watching the theme of incest/sexual abuse). During the Q&A, Jamie Babbit said that her next film will be about radical feminists!!! I can't wait.
- Gabriel Byrne, who was so nice that I gave him my copy of the TIFF movie listings.
- Matthew Modine, who was also nice (I didn't know who he was till later).
- Kevin Bacon walked by me - do you think I can now include myself in "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon"?
- Colin Firth!! Yes I was a few feet away from Darcy! Just for the record my friend and I were not one of the women yelling "I love you Colin."
- Michael Stipe was just a few feet away from me but I couldn't think of anything to say to him. I just kept wishing that one of my friends (who's a huge REM and Michael Stipe fan) was there with me.
- Andy Stochansky (who used to tour with Ani diFranco) chatted with me and a co-volunteer, and gave us each a promo album. He's super sweet!
- Spike Lee!! I didn't get to talk to him but it was just cool to actually see him!
- Justin Timerlake and his security guards. I got to see one of the security guards secure the washroom for Timberlake. Fortunately there appeared to be no unfortunate washroom incidents!
- LL Cool J - he really does look cool.
- I got to sit in at a press conference for Annette Benning's film Mrs. Harris, and she really impressed me by how articulate and professional she is.
- I also spoke with a couple of nice directors were all excited about their films being in the festival: David Uloth and Dionysus Zorvos.
I also saw these celebrities at the Gala screenings: Orlando Bloom (who I now just refer to as Orlando), Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Crowe, Susan Sarandon, Reese Witherspoon, Joaquin Phoenix, Madonna, and Guy Ritchie.
