The New York Online Film Critics have also embraced The Artist this year and gave it three prizes while Bridesmaids picks up two by itself and Take Shelter and The Tree of Life both earn two, but one they each earned for supporting actress Jessica Chastain, who appeared in both films, picking up the breakthrough performance award and having both of those pictures listed.
