Ottawa (AFP) - "The Imitation Game," a biopic of British codebreaker Alan Turing starring Benedict Cumberbatch, won the Toronto film festival's top prize Sunday, confirming its status as an early Oscars contender. Morten Tyldum's World War II-era drama also stars Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Allen Leech of the hit television series "Downton Abbey," and features a rare German Enigma code machine from the war. "There was something very subtle, uncompromising and unusual about (Turing) but also very quiet and stoic," Cumberbatch, who has been generating Oscar buzz for his portrayal of the computer sciences pioneer, said earlier this week in Toronto.
