NYFCO. Awards.

Just when you were beginning to fear a Helen Mirren-like juggernaut in the Best Film category this year, along come the New York Film Critics Online. With a tie. And neither film is No Country for Old Men. Instead, they've split the vote between There Will Be Blood and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

But look over the complete list as Ed Gonzalez has posted it at Slant's blog. While the top notch is Diving Bell's only showing, Blood nabs Best Director (Paul Thomas Anderson), Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Cinematography (Robert Elswit) and Score (Jonny Greenwood).

The only other film with more than one mention: Persepolis (Foreign Language, shared with The Lives of Others, and Animation). And here's to Julie Christie (Best Actress, Away From Her) and Cate Blanchett (Best Supporting Actress, I'm Not There).
