About Festival

For over 99 years, the National Board of Review, with no commercial ties to the motion-picture industry, has dedicated its efforts to the support of film, domestic and foreign, as both art and entertainment. Our nonprofit organization celebrates the distinctive voice of the individual artist, honoring excellence and supporting freedom of expression in film. The Board's core activities include presentation of educational film programs, as well as the award of scholarships and grants to promising film students and directors.

NBR members annually view and rate over 280 films: theatrical and made for cable, independent and major studio, documentary and foreign language. The screening membership comprises film professionals, educators, students, and historians. Frequently, in-depth discussions with filmmakers, directors, actors, producers, or screenwriters follow screenings. At year's end, members receive a list of all films screened, along with final ballots, which are tallied by the awards committee in order to determine annual honorees.

On Tuesday, January 15th, the National Board of Review held their annual awards gala at Cipriani 42nd street in midtown Manhattan. As the awards season has been a light one this year, the star wattage at the NBR awards was particularly high. Attendees included George Clooney (Best Actor winner for Michael Clayton), Ben Affleck (Best Directorial Debut winner for Gone Baby, Gone) and the Coen Brothers (Best Picture winners with No Country For Old Men). Our Red Carpet journalist, Zachary Wigon, caught up with Clooney, Diablo Cody (who tied for Best Screenplay with Juno) and Tilda Swinton (Ratatouille, Michael Clayton), amongst others.
