The 2011 award recipients were voted on Tuesday and revealed via Twitter.
The New York Film Critics Circle named Roadside Attractions’ Wall Street-set thriller Margin Call best first feature as it gathered on Tuesday to vote its best films of the year.
Announcing its picks via a Twitter feed, the account’s first tweet read, “We are convening now and will be tweeting as the voting progresses,” Tuesday morning.
Margin Call was the first winner, revealed at 10:10 a.m. ET. The film was directed by J.C. Chandor and starred Zachary Quinto, Stanley Tucci and Kevin Spacey.
Merle Streep was awarded the best actress prize for her portrayal of form Britain Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in The Iron Lady.
The best actor title was given to Brad Pitt for his roles in Moneyball and Tree of Life.
Brad Pitt is eyeing more international collaborations and sees Korea as a significant industrial base for the process.
“I think we are living in a global community and I’m much more interested in … more global connections and interactions and cultures and nations,” the Hollywood star told reporters in Seoul, Tuesday, about what he hopes to achieve through his movies.
The promotional tour for “Moneyball,” which opens in local theaters this week, marks the 47-year-old’s first visit here. “I’m very excited to come here. Your market has exploded in a very positive way and it has become a hub of entertainment and sports.”
Pitt’s latest film tells the real-life story of a man who attempts to organize a budget baseball team. While it is about Billy Beane’s revolutionary use of computer-generated systems for recruiting players for the Oakland Athletics, the actor believes the emotional aspects of the film resonate with international audiences.
“No matter how much you can break the game down to a size, it’s all about the magical moments in baseball,” said Pitt, who is a personal fan of not only the Oakland As but his home state Saint Louis Cardinals.
Brad Pitt has said he is not worried about getting older.
The 47-year-old actor said he likes ageing because of the “wisdom” that comes with it, and said he is taking better care of himself because of his six children.
The Hollywood star made the comments at a news conference in Seoul. He is visiting South Korea for the first time to promote his new baseball film, Moneyball, which opens there on Thurday.
He arrived alone after visiting Japan and Vietnam with partner Angelina Jolie and their children last week.
A long-haired Brad said he was excited to be in South Korea because Angelina “spoke highly” of a visit she made last year.
Not entirely official but apparently Brad will attend the november 14th premiere of Moneyball in Korea. Read more. Thanks Daniella. Let’s all hop on a plane or just come check SB later
