Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," which has already been named the year's best film in a number of critics' polls, picked up another victory on Monday with the announcement that it had been chosen number one by the Online Film Critics Society.
The OFCA, which consists of about 200 critics whose work appears primarily on the Internet, honored the Malick film in five categories, adding Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (Jessica Chastain), Best Editing and Best Cinematography to its Best Picture award.
In the lead acting categories, awards went to Michael Fassbender for "Shame" and Tilda Swinton for "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Christopher Plummer won the Supporting Actor Award for "Beginners," a rare critics-award loss for Albert Brooks ("Drive") in the category.
