Melissa Leo won in the best actress category for her role in the human-trafficking drama “Frozen River,” while Penelope Cruz and James Franco picked up best supporting acting honours for their performances in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Milk,” respectively.

The latter two movies also triumphed in the writing categories, with Woody Allen winning best screenplay for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and Dustin Lance Black winning best first screenplay for “Milk.”
