Paper Tiger Played Well for the NYFF Crowd; the After-Party Talked Oscars

Neon's Paper Tiger played well for the Lincoln Center crowd on New York Film Festival opening night, IndieWire reports, and the conversation didn't stop at the credits: guests at the Tavern on the Green after-party debated the film's Oscar odds. After-party awards chatter says more about the mood of a room than about the race months ahead, but a crowd that spends the evening on a film's odds is at least a crowd that thinks it has a contender.
