 The
New York Film Critics Circle have voted Sideways
as their top film of 2004. It also bagged top honours for
Best Screenplay, Best Actor for Paul Giamatti and Best Supporting
Actress gong for Virginia Madsen. The man, Clint Eeastwood
picked up the award for Best Director will his 'Million Dollar
Baby'.
In
a move that surprised absolutely no one, the New York Film
Critics Circle gave their Best Film award to Sideways, the
movie that just this weekend won the Los Angeles Film Critics'
top honor and dominated this morning's Golden Globe nominations.
The indie comedy, which is cementing its Oscar chances as
the days go by, also took home Best Screenplay and Best Actor
and Best Supporting Actress honors for Paul Giamatti and Virginia
Madsen, respectively. In a bit of a surprise, however, Sideways'
Alexander Payne lost the Best Director award to Clint Eastwood
for his boxing drama Million Dollar Baby. Most of the other
Gotham awards, however, were highly predictable, with Imelda
Staunton winning Best Actress for Vera Drake, The Incredibles
winning Best Animated Film, Fahrenheit 9/11 nabbing Best Nonfiction
Film, and Maria Full of Grace named Best First Feature. In
the not-quite-predictable but no-surprise-either category,
Clive Owen won Best Supporting Actor for Closer and Bad Education
took home the Best Foreign Language Film honor; last but not
least, Hero was the winner for Best Cinematography.
