National Board of Review Loves Clint's Letters
Speaking of the awards season... Clint Eastwood's
Letters from Iwo Jima, the companion film to this fall's earlier-released
Flags of our Fathers, has been named best picture by the National Board of Review. Martin Scorsese was named best director for
The Departed, while Forest Whitaker (
Last King of Scotland) and Helen Mirren (
The Queen) nabbed the top acting prizes.
Volver won best foreign film, Al Gore's
An Inconvenient Truth was declared top documentary, and
Cars led the animated-entries pack.
