Although it has yet to open, Steven Spielberg’s new movie The Post was the big winner at today’s National Board of Review awards, taking home the honors for Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Other winners included Lady Bird’s Greta Gerwig and Get Out’s Jordan Peele, following up their Gotham Awards with two NBR trophies each. Despite being a good afternoon for legends like Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep, the National Board of Review has not successfully predicted a Best Picture winner at the Oscars since Slumdog Millionaire in 2008. So consider the field still very wide open.
