Tim Burton won best director from the National Board of Review for SWEENEY TODD.
NBR Awards
They also picked SWEENEY for their Top Ten.
And congrats to Broadway's own Amy Ryan! Atta girl!
Nice list. I know that Clooney is going to be a big contender for Best Actor this year at the Oscars.
BUT... Keep in mind that the NBR has a lousy record in predicting (or paralleling) a Best Picture Oscar win:
NBR BEST PICTURES:
2000: Quills (Oscar: Gladiator)
2001: Moulin Rouge! (Oscar: A Beautiful Mind)
2002: The Hours (Oscar: Chicago)
2003: Mystic River (Oscar: LOTR: Return of the King)
2004: Finding Neverland (Oscar: Million Dollar Baby)
2005: Good Night, and Good Luck (Oscar: Crash)
2006: Letters from Iwo Jima (Oscar: The Departed)
2007: No Country for Old Men (Oscar: ___)
(Oscar: Hairspray)
