The Best ing Actress honor went to Shailene Woodley for “The Spectacular Now” and Jared Leto earned Best ing Actor for “Dallas Buyers Club.”

The Chinese film “Drug War” was voted Best Foreign Language movie and “The Act of Killing” was named best documentary.
The cast of “American Hustle,” which includes Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner, was honored for Best Ensemble Performance.
