Not to be confused with the New York Online Film Critics, the New York Film Critics Circle has also announced their yearly laurels -- and they've given No Country for Old Men the Best Picture prize.

Daniel Day Lewis (There Will Be Blood) and Julie Christie (Away From Her) picked up additional prizes (both were winners in the NY Online awards) for Best Actor and Actress, while Javier Bardem (No Country) and Amy Ryan (Gone, Baby, Gone) grabbed the Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards. The Coen Brothers were named Best Directors and also won the prize for Best Screenplay.
