Critics' Choice Winners Announced


Chicago
HOLLYWOOD - The Broadcast Film Critics Association handed out its eighth annual Critics' Choice Awards Friday, and Chicago was the night's big winner.

The musical was honored for best picture and best ensemble acting, while Catherine Zeta-Jones took home the best supporting actress award.

Chicago's star, however, Renee Zellweger, was passed over for best actress. The BFCA instead honored Julianne Moore for her role in the 1950s melodrama Far From Heaven.

On the men's side, Gangs of New York star Daniel Day-Lewis and About Schmidt's Jack Nicholson tied in the best actor category. Chris Cooper won best supporting actor for Adaptation.

Veteran Steven Spielberg received the best director award for Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can.

The 187-member BFCA is made up of television, radio and online critics from the U.S. and Canada. In the past two years, 78 percent of the BFCA's nominees also become Academy Award contenders.

The BFCA traditionally nominates 10 films for best picture, creating a National Critics' 10 Best List. There are three nominees--or four in the case of a tie--in each of the 16 other categories.
