Brokeback Mountain has been named
Brokeback Mountain has been named the Best Picture of 2005 by the New York Film Critics Circle, following the same decision announced by the Los Angeles and Boston film critics, and
Ang Lee has been named Best Director. And
Heath Ledger has put a stop to Phillip Seymour Hoffman's unbroken winning streak by being named Best Actor for his inhabiting of
Brokeback's Ennis del Mar. And isn't it great that

Capote's director
Bennett Miller. And
Reese Witherspoon was named Best Actress for
