LA Film Critics Honor Brokeback Mountain and Capote
The LA Film Critics have bestowed their annual film honors.
“Brokeback Mountain,” a gay Western about two ranch hands who share a summer of love then conceal their ongoing affair, was picked as 2005’s best film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the group announced Saturday.
The movie, which stars Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, also earned director Ang Lee the critics’ award for best director and Ledger was the runner-up for the best actor’s award.
“A History of Violence,” a thriller starring Viggo Mortensen, was the runner up for best film and its director, David Cronenberg, also was a runner up for the directing award.
The award for best actor went to Phillip Seymour Hoffman for his work in “Capote,” which chronicled author Truman Capote as he pursued his true-crime book “In Cold Blood.” Vera Farmiga won the best actress award for portraying a wife and mother who falls deeper into drug addiction in “Down to the Bone.”
