A day after the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awarded its top prize for 2007 to Paul Thomas Anderson’s forthcoming film, “There Will Be Blood,” the New York Film Critics Circle convened early Monday to decide on the best films and performances of the year. In keeping with the vote conducted last week by the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, the Circle’s best picture award went to the Coen brothers’ “No Country for Old Men.” Joel and Ethan Coen shared the awards for best director and best screenplay for the film, and Javier Bardem was named best supporting actor for his role as a vicious bounty hunter in the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel.

Founded in 1935, the New York Film Critics Circle includes critics from daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, and magazines.
