Following up the coveted prize from the Toronto International Film Festival, the Brit biopic starring Benedict Cumberbatch as World War II codebreaker Alan Turing also won the narrative Audience Award from the Hamptons International Film Festival.
The movie which sits at a very high 87% on Rotten Tomatoes is steady as they go, building buzz and all-important momentum heading into the late-year awards stretch.
“The Imitation Game” was also the winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Feature film award at this year’s festival, which ran from October 9th through October 13th, and played over 129 films from around the world. “Iris” won the Audience Award for Documentary and Disney’s animated “Feast” took home the audience award for best short film–it’s an early Oscar frontrunner for best short.
