'Brokeback Mountain' Wins Critics' Awards

SANTA MONICA, Calif. Jan 10, 2006 — "Brokeback Mountain" won a leading three awards, including best picture and best director for Ang Lee, but it was Philip Seymour Hoffman's entrancing portrayal of Truman Capote that captured the best actor honor Monday at the 11th annual Critics' Choice Awards.

George Clooney received the Freedom Award, a special tribute "for illuminating our shared values of freedom, tolerance and democracy" through "Good Night, and Good Luck," his film about television reporter Edward R. Murrow and the McCarthy era. Oscar winner Julia Roberts, making her first public appearance since having twins, presented the award.

Reese Witherspoon was named best actress for her sassy performance as June Carter in the Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line."

Michelle Williams of "Brokeback Mountain" tied for the award for best supporting actress with Amy Adams of "Junebug."
