Hollywood came to our fair city last night to attend the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, honors considered by many to be harbingers of Oscar nominations. Leading the charge was the oh-so-photogenic George Clooney and his equally gorgeous girlfriend, Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis.

Other attendees at the awards, which took place at Crimson, a multi-level event space in the Flatiron District, included directors Kathryn Bigelow and Wes Anderson, and actors James Gandolfini, Amy Ryan, and Anthony Mackie.
