Anna Wintour previewed Lanvin, Paul Giamatti premiered his new film, and Kevin Spacey was given a fancy Lifetime Achievement statue while the stars of "The Social Network," and this year's other big movies gave acceptance speeches at the NY Film Critics Awards. Since no one status updated, we've compiled the best of last night's parties!

Other Details: Anna Wintour showed up in a brown fur stole and sat next to Grace Coddington amongst the other fashion editors to judge Lanvin's winter looks. As a Tweeter noted, Simon Doonan summed it up perfectly when he said "Alber's clothes are like crack for women." Agreed. [Via]

Who Was There: Annette Bening, Warren Beatty, Jesse Eisenberg, Colin Firth, Melissa Leo, Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo, Armie Hammer, Aaron Sorkin, Ed Norton, David O. Russell, Tom Hooper, Lisa Cholodenko, Tamara Jenkins, Stuart Blumberg, Armond White, Kerry Washington, Mark Ruffalo
Other Details: The big winner of the night was "The Kids Are All Right," with Annette Bening taking Best Actress, Mark Ruffalo wining Best Supporting Actor, and the screenplay taking top honors. "The Social Network," took best film, with Aaron Sorkin, Jesse Eisenberg, and the producers in attendance. Armie Hammer, who plays both Winklevoss twins, was also there, looking as hot as he does in the flick. It's too bad there is really only on of him. [Via]
SONY PICTURES CLASSICS and THE HUDSON SOCIETY Present the New York Premiere of BARNEY'S VERSION
Where: Paris Theatre
Who Was There: Anna Hopkins, Scott Speedman, Asid Mandvi, Robert Lantos, Tom Bernard, Paul Giamatti, Minnie Driver, Richard Lewis, Ari Lantos, Paul Giamatti
Other Details: In a film based on Mordecai Richler's prize-winning comic novel, Barney, the always fabulous character actor Paul Giamatti falls in love at his wedding with a woman who is not his bride! While this would usually lead to a romcom full of hi-jinks, the casting makes them more than the standard bubble gum fare. We're hoping it paves the way for Scott Speedman, last loved in Felicity, to make a comeback. [Via]
The Film Society Of Lincoln Center Presents "Flannel Pajamas"
Where: Walter Reade Theater
Who Was There: Julianne Nicholson, Rebecca Schull, Jamie Harrold, Rebecca Schull
Other Details: We can't help but think that Jamie Harrold is thinking, "Why is Julianne Nicholson wearing those effing, dumb red boots?" in this photo, but we can't be sure. The film centers around one couple falling in and out of love. After the screening the cast answered questions about the movie which was first released in 2006. [Via]
