As for the allegorical film itself, Melancholia topped Pitt's and Sean Penn's Tree of Life to be honored as Best Picture by the group.
But Tree of Life was strong, winning Terrence Malick the Best Director honor, and also figuring into Jessica Chastain's nod for Best Supporting Actress (in addition to her roles in The Help and Take Shelter).
