'Argo' Leads a Round of Critics' Awards The team behind "Argo" may be celebrating today, or they may be wondering, what next? Or possibly both. Ben Affleck's comedic thriller took home the top trophy from the Online Film Critics Society, which announced its prizes today. Chris Terrio's screenplay also won. The society also honored "The Master," for Paul Thomas Anderson's direction and Philip Seymour Hoffman's supporting actor turn, and selected performances by Daniel Day-Lewis, Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway as well. Though the online group is one of the largest international critics' organizations, it doesn't dovetail with the Oscar best picture winners very often (only three times in the last decade, according to Steve Pond at The Wrap). Other winners in the weekend's prize-giving: "Amour," "Lincoln" and "The Master," which all won multiple times with the National Society of Film Critics. "Amour" took best picture, best actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and best director (Michael Haneke). "Lincoln" earned best actor (Mr. Day-Lewis) and best script (Tony Kushner). "The Master" picked up best supporting actress (Amy Adams) and best cinematography. The group, made up of 60 critics from top outlets across the country (including Time, NPR, The New Yorker and The Village Voice), has a history of going arty with its choices: last year it selected "Melancholia" and "Tree of Life" for its top prizes. This year it did pick Matthew McConaughey as best supporting actor for "Magic Mike" and "Bernie."
