As expected, The Tree of Life has triumphed at the CFCA. One of the more major critics' groups, they rewarded the film with more nominations (seven) than any other, and now it can boast more wins than any other film too, with a total of four. Amongst these, of course, was the obligatory win for Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography, as well as the top two awards and one for Jessica Chastain, in what continues to be an extraordinary year for the newcomer. Her co-star Brad Pitt lost out to Albert Brooks for Drive, his second win today, proving that an SAG nomination is not required to make a performance highly popular during awards season. Drive was one of only two other films to win more than one award (alongside Martha Marcy May Marlene), also bagging Original Score. The two screenplay choices were interesting - for Original, The Artist, its second screenplay win of the season and of today, after Florida, and also the second time it has won for its screenplay and nothing else. Adapted Screenplay went to Moneyball, despite it having no other nominations. The Chicago-based documentary The Interrupters won in its category, as did CFCA's most famous member Roger Ebert's favourite film of 2011, A Separation, for Best Foreign Language Film. Meanwhile, Michelle Williams picks up another Best Actress award - she and Tilda Swinton are currently leading the field in this category, although this is a highly contentious category, with a lot of potential winners.
