Other winners included Cate Blanchett as Best Actress for her role in "Blue Jasmine," and Gravity's Alfonso Cuarón was named Best Director.

Roger Ebert received a posthumous honor for his "decades of work in criticism helped to popularize serious film appreciation to a wider audience, and whose tireless persistence in the face of cancer was as inspiring as any of the films he championed."

Commented OFCS Governing Committee members Robert Humanick, Wesley Lovell and Cole Smithey."Our members outdid themselves this year and we couldn't be more excited," adding, "After selecting a superb set of nominees, tough decisions were made and the result is a fine array of work enhanced only by the pool from which they were chosen."
