The National Board of Review announced their winners today, and I got a definite chuckle out of them. Oh, NBR how you make me laugh! The winners are:
Picture: Slumdog Millionaire - I'm guessing a Best Pic Oscar nom is almost locked
Director: David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Actor: Clint Eastwood, Gran Turino - the Eastwood starf***ing continues
Actress: Anne Hathaway, Rachel Getting Married - a needed boost
Supporting Actor: Josh Brolin, Milk - could there be two Supp. Actor Oscar noms for Milk?
Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz, Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Original Screenplay: Gran Turino - more Eastwood starf***king
Adapted Screenplay: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Foreign Language Film: Mongol
Documentary: Man On Fire
Animated Film: WALL-E - yeah
Ensemble Cast: Doubt - "we have to give it something"
Breakthrough Actor: Dev Patel, Slumdog Millionaire
Breakthrough Actress: Viola Davis, Doubt - even though she's been in how many movies
Directorial Debut: Courtney Hunt, Frozen River - good for them, recognizing new female directors
Spotlight Award: Melissa Leo, Frozen River & Richard Jenkins, The Visitor - it's funny how some years they'll just make up an award to bestow upon performances they don't have the nerve to give the actual Best Actor/Actress award to
Top Ten: including two Eatwood films
Burn After Reading
Changeling
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The Dark Knight
Defiance
Frost/Nixon
Gran Turino
Milk
WALL-E
The Wrestler
