National Board of Review Winners 2021: \u2018Licorice Pizza\u2019 Takes Best Picture and Best Director: <\/h1>\n

Fresh off the Gotham Awards earlier this week (where Maggie Gyllenhaal\u2019s \u201cThe Lost Daughter\u201d was the big winner), awards season continues today with the announcement of the 2021 National Board of Review winners. The organization is made up of a group of film enthusiasts, industry professionals, academics, and filmmakers. The tastes of the NBR often overlap with the Academy, which make their awards an important step on the road to Oscars.<\/p>\n

Last year, the National Board of Review honored Spike Lee\u2019s \u201cDa 5 Bloods\u201d with its top prize for Best Film. It marked the rare time where the NBR top winner did not go on to earn an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. During the 2010s, \u201cA Most Violent Year\u201d was the only winner not to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. NBR winners such as \u201cZero Dark Thirty,\u201d \u201cHugo,\u201d \u201cHer,\u201d \u201cManchester by the Sea,\u201d \u201cMad Max: Fury Road,\u201d and more all broke into the Academy\u2019 Best Picture race, with 2018 NBR winner \u201cGreen Book\u201d winning the Oscar for Best Picture.<\/p>\n
