It was a huge evening last night (October 8) as the 51st New York Film Festival took over Manhattan’s Lincoln Center with a plethora of celebrity sightings.

“Prometheus” hunk Michael Fassbender showed up at Alice Tully Hall to check out the premiere of “12 Years A Slave.”

Meanwhile, “Igby Goes Down” dame Amanda Peet peeped “Nebraska,” sporting a long grey coat with a striped top and black trousers.

Zachary Quinto and Connie Britton attended the “All Is Lost” premiere, while Madonna headed into the “12 Years a Slave” screening with director Steve McQueen.
