Re: National Board of Review winners A Most Violent Year's win is surprising. Quite a coup for A24. I am eager to see it. J. C. Chandor directed my favorite film of 2013, All Is Lost, and the cast is fantastic. Fury for Best Ensemble is an awful choice.  Their love affair with Eastwood continues. _________________   1.

Re: National Board of Review winners This is by far the weirdest set of winners NBR has ever produced.

Re: National Board of Review winners Whoa. Definitely an impressive showing for A Most Violent Year. But where the hell is Whiplash? Not even on the independent list?

Re: National Board of Review winners Had American Sniper not come out, I bet they would have give Jersey Boys a mention.

Re: National Board of Review winners Fury had very good tank action sequences but that was about it.
They apparently HATED Whiplash! Ridiculous

Re: National Board of Review winners If only Obvious Child could continue riding the awards wave. I hope Jenny Slate gets a Golden Globe nom.

Re: National Board of Review winners As for A Most Violent Year, it just looks so much like a 1970s Oscar winner. Critics lap that shit up!

Re: National Board of Review winners This is just weird, but I swear, I really was expecting Eastwood to win Best Directpr again. It's a fucking tradition.
HOW THE HELL does The LEGO Movie get into the Top 10 of films and wins the screenplay, but loses Best Animated Film? Best Ensemble for Fury? Ehh?
A Most Violent Year is on the map for a BP nom now, though.
Have they not seen Selma? That and The Theory of Everything missing is very weird.

Re: National Board of Review winners Well I think it's great that they are not just identical to all other awards.

Re: National Board of Review winners I think that's an awesome list and not what anyone expected. Super excited for A Most Violent Year - great stuff.
Lego Movie is a bit WTF but I guess why not.

Re: National Board of Review winners So no Grand Budapest Hotel, Foxcatcher, Theory of Everything & Selma.
I miss anything else? Well Interstellar, but that was a lol anyway.
edit: Whiplash too.

Re: National Board of Review winners A Most Violent Year is their first winner since Polanski 's Macbeth in 1971 to not receive a single Oscar nomination.

Re: National Board of Review winners I find it weird that it was completely ignored. It looked so much like a film that the Academy would eat up.
