Brad Pitt - 'Best Actor'<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Writers at leading UK modelling agency<\/a> Models Direct have just heard that the New York Film Critics Circle Awards were announced yesterday on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Meryl Streep was named best actress for her performance in \u2018The Iron Lady\u2019 – where she portrayed former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher – while Brad Pitt scooped best actor for both \u2018Moneyball\u2019 and \u2018The Tree Of Life\u2019.<\/p>\n

This was Brad Pitt\u2019s first best actor win from the New York-based film critics group, but for Meryl Streep, this year will be the fourth time that she has been celebrated as an actress by the organisation, which was founded in 1935.<\/p>\n

Other actors who were recognised for their talents<\/a> this year included Albert Brooks, as best supporting actor for \u2018Drive\u2019, and Jessica Chastain, who won best supporting actress for three films; \u2018Take Shelter\u2019, \u2018The Help\u2019 and \u2018The Tree Of Life\u2019.<\/p>\n

Black and white film \u2018The Artist\u2019 was the big winner of the day; it gained the title of Best Picture, while Michel Hazanavicius won best director for his work on it. \u2018The Artist\u2019 is a romantic drama that focuses on the transition – in late 1920s Hollywood – from silent films to \u2018talkies\u2019 and the impact of this transition on the lives of two actors, a couple played by Berenice Bejo and Jean Dujardin. There is no doubt that this film is the more \u2018arty\u2019 choice from those in the running this year. The New York Film Critics Circle Awards have a reputation for favouring this style of film over the arguably more commercial contenders such as \u2018The Descendants\u2019 or \u2018Beginners\u2019. Models Direct<\/a> can\u2019t wait to see how \u2018The Artist\u2019 does in the Academy Awards in February!<\/p>\n

The New York Film Critics Circle chairman, John Anderson, told Reuters: “It’s a film about film, so it would appeal to the critical sensibility. It’s a movie that celebrates movies but it’s also well done, and it’s upbeat, joyful, and just hard to resist.”<\/p>\n
