On Sunday, Dec. 9, 2012, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association announced their picks for movies of 2012. The French old-age drama “Amour” was chosen as the year's best film. The 1950s cult drama “The Master” earned three awards: best director for Paul Thomas Anderson, best actor for Joaquin Phoenix and supporting actress for Amy Adams. “The Master” also was chosen as best-picture runner-up. “Amour” star Emmanuelle Riva shared the best-actress honor in a tie with Jennifer Lawrence for the lost-soul romance “Silver Linings Playbook.” Newcomer Dwight Henry was chosen as supporting actor for the low-budget critical darling “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Michelle Siu, File)
