The National Board of Review

The National Board of Review is an organization that evaluates and recognizes outstanding films and acting performances each year. Founded in 1909, it consists of film enthusiasts, critics, and industry professionals who review movies early in the awards season. Their annual awards help highlight significant films and can influence further recognition during awards like the Oscars. The NBOR aims to promote film art and encourage audiences to appreciate quality cinema through their screenings and annual selections.
