'Score' stars arrive for opening Gala

About 500 film fans braved the fall chill to watch the stars of Score: A Hockey Musical arrive at Roy Thomson Hall for the movie's TIFF-opening Gala.

The biggest cheers were for Olivia Newton John, who wore a glamorous gold gown with leopard print shell to ward off the unseasonably cool weather.

The fans also welcomed Nelly Furtado who wore sexy, sky-high patent leather stilettos and a black and white cocktail-length dress.

Besides the cast and crew of the movie, hockey luminaries Walter Gretzky and Theo Fleury were also on the red carpet.

In contrast to the fleet of black Caddie Escalades that ferried the A-listers to the start of the red carpet in Metro Hall Square was a Beck Taxi. It pulled in between the flashy Cadillacs and two unidentified passengers hopped out and walked down the red carpet.

Whoa, Nelly...looks like she woke up and decided to scrap the usual TIFF togs in favour of poking her legs through the bottom of a garbage bag.
