As reported by Variety, the National Board Of Review has named Steven Spielbergâs The Post as its Movie Of The Year, with stars Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep also landing the top acting honors. Spielberg himself got shut out, though, with Lady Birdâs Greta Gerwig taking the directing award. Speaking of Lady Bird, Laurie Metcalf won the National Board Of Reviewâs Best Supporting Actress award, with The Florida Projectâs Willem Dafoe getting the actor equivalent. Other winners include The Disaster Artist and Phantom Thread, which won the screenplay awards, Coco winning the animated feature award, and Get Out winning for directorial debut and ensemble performance.
Back in March, we joked that The Post was an attempt by Spielberg, Hanks, and Streep to âwin all the Oscars,â and while The Postâs good showing here does seem like a good sign for that, itâs worth noting that the National Board Of Reviewâs top film last year was Manchester By The Sea, which didnât win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. The year before that was Mad Max: Fury Road, which probably deserved Best Picture but also didnât win.
The National Board Of Review awards will be held at a gala on January 9, and hereâs the groupâs other top 10 movies of the year:
