\n

\t\u201cTop Gun: Maverick\u201d has been named best picture by the National Board of Review, the organization announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe big acting winners included Colin Farrell taking the best actor prize for \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d after coming off the New York Film Critics Circle win earlier this month. Two NBR winners in the last 12 years have translated to Oscar winners \u2014 Casey Affleck for \u201cManchester by the Sea\u201d (2016) and Will Smith for \u201cKing Richard\u201d (2021). For winners becoming eventual nominees, only three men were snubbed by the Academy in the end \u2014 Oscar Isaac for \u201cA Most Violent Year\u201d (2014), Tom Hanks for \u201cThe Post\u201d (2017) and Adam Sandler for \u201cUncut Gems\u201d ( 2019).<\/p>\n

\n

\tMichelle Yeoh gets a huge boost after being announced as Madame Morrible in the upcoming \u201cWicked\u201d movies and featured on Variety’s <\/em>Actors on Actors. She can now add NBR best actress winner to her golden day for her turn as laundromat owner Evelyn in \u201cEverything Everywhere All at Once.\u201d Her awards campaign can look to Brie Larson in \u201cRoom\u201d (2015) and Ren\u00e9e Zellweger in \u201cJudy\u201d (2019) as the two past recipients that went on to win the statuette. For nominees, four have missed out on an Oscar mention in the last dozen years \u2014 Lesley Manville for \u201cAnother Year\u201d (2010), Tilda Swinton for \u201cWe Need to Talk About Kevin\u201d (2011), Emma Thompson for \u201cSaving Mr. Banks\u201d (2013) and just last year’s Rachel Zegler for \u201cWest Side Story.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe supporting races went to Farrell’s co-star Brendan Gleeson for \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin\u201d while musician-turned-actress Janelle Mon\u00e1e picked up her first major prize for the \u201cKnives Out\u201d sequel, \u201cGlass Onion.\u201d The crossover between NBR and the Academy Awards in the acting races is sporadic with two or three nabbing Oscar nods by the season’s end. <\/p>\n

\tWinning best director for \u201cThe Fabelmans,\u201d Steven Spielberg’s picked up his second career win from NBR after \u201cEmpire of the Sun\u201d (1987). It would probably take an act of God for the two-time Oscar winner to miss out on another Academy nod in January. However, it is notable that only six of the last 12 NBR winners have gone on to be nominated for an Oscar. Also notable, none of them won the Academy Award. The last winner of NBR to translate into an Oscar winner was Martin Scorsese for \u201cThe Departed\u201d (2006).<\/p>\n

\n

\tSome of the most notable omissions from wins and top 10 mentions included the two films centering around musicians \u2014 Todd Field’s \u201cT\u00e1r\u201d with Cate Blanchett and Baz Luhrmann’s \u201cElvis\u201d with Austin Butler. There was also no love for Marvel Studios’ tentpole film \u201cBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever\u201d by Ryan Coogler, nor for the auteurs and Hollywood legends such as Darren Aronofsky (\u201cThe Whale\u201d), Sam Mendes (\u201cEmpire of Light\u201d) and Ron Howard (\u201cThirteen Lives\u201d). <\/p>\n

\n

\tOver the last 30 years, the winner of best film has gone on to receive an Oscar nomination for best picture, except for once every decade \u2014 2014’s \u201cA Most Violent Year,\u201d 2000’s \u201cQuills\u201d and 1998’s \u201cGods and Monsters.\u201d In the 1980s, there were technically two misses with 1987’s \u201cEmpire of the Sun\u201d and 1983’s \u201cBetrayal,\u201d which tied with \u201cTerms of Endearment.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tNBR’s most recent best film selections were Martin Scorsese’s \u201cThe Irishman,\u201d Peter Farrelly’s \u201cGreen Book\u201d and George Miller’s \u201cMad Max: Fury Road.\u201d Last year, Spike Lee’s \u201cDa 5 Bloods\u201d won the top prize but was only able to muster a single Oscar nom for original score (Terence Blanchard), so the jury is still out if that one will represent the 2020s. <\/p>\n
