Killers Of The Flower Moon’s awards season continues to gather pace in the US as it was named best film, Martin Scorsese best director, and Lily Gladstone best actress in National Board of Review’s (NBR) list of annual honourees on Wednesday.
The film and Gladstone were named best film and lead actress by New York Film Critics Circle last week, and the feature was awarded the Icon & Creator Tribute at the Gothams.
Paul Giamatti was named NBR’s best actor for The Holdovers, with fellow cast member Da’Vine Joy Randolph earning best supporting actress, and Mark Ruffalo from Poor Things claiming best supporting actor.
David Hemingson won best original screenplay for The Holdovers and Tony McNamara best adapted screenplay for Poor Things. Celine Song won best direcrorial debut for Past Lives.
Anatomy Of A Fall was named best international film, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse best animated feature, and Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie best documentary.
“Killers Of The Flower Moon is a stunning masterpiece from one of our greatest filmmakers, Martin Scorsese,” said NBR president Annie Schulhof. “The NBR is proud to award this complex, important, and deeply resonant epic as our Best Film and Scorsese as our Best Director.
“We are also thrilled to honor Bradley Cooper with the NBR Icon Award – an equally impressive actor, writer, producer, and director, who brings his passion, artistry, and dedication to everything he does, including his latest beautifully sublime film, Maestro.”
For the first time since it was founded in 1909, the group of film enthusiasts, filmmakers, professionals, academics, and students, introduced a new category recognising outstanding achievement in stunt artistry. The winners are Chad Stahelski and stunt coordinators Stephen Dunlevy and Scott Rogers for their work on John Wick: Chapter 4
The honourees will be feted at the NBR Awards Gala, hosted by Willie Geist on January 11 2024 at Cipriani 42nd Street, in New York City.
