Here are the winners from the New York Film Critics:











Best Director - Mike Leigh (Happy-Go-Lucky)
Best Actor - Sean Penn (Milk)
Best Actress - Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky)
Best Supporting Actor - Josh Brolin (Milk)
Best Supporting Actress - Penelope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona)

Best Cinematographer - Anthony Dod Mantle (Slumdog Millionaire)
Best Foreign Film - 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
Best Animated Film - WALL-E
Best First Film - Courtney Hunt (Frozen River)
Best Documentary - Man on Wire

THOUGHTS:
* Wow Sally Hawkins just got a bump
* Sean Penn is winning quite a bit more than Rourke lately. Is he a front runner?
* This is the 3rd time Josh Brolin has beat out Heath Ledger. Is Heath still a lock for the win? (probably)
* Penelope Cruz is still bringing them in left and right.
* Looks like Wall-E and Man on Wire are due for Oscar wins
