![AWARD SEASON: National Board of Review begin the award race!
[wongie says: Up in the Air vs Invictus!]
Jason Reitman’s comic drama “Up in the Air” cruised to new altitudes Thursday as the New York-based National Board of Review named it best film of the year.
The Paramount release, which opens today in limited engagements, also picked up three other trophies: best actor for George Clooney, who plays a corporate road warrior and who shared the award with Morgan Freeman, who stars as Nelson Mandela in “Invictus”; supporting actress for Anna Kendrick, whose character threatens to bring Clooney down to earth; and adapted screenplay for Reitman and Sheldon Turner.
Warner Bros.’ South African-set drama “Invictus” also figured prominently in the NBR kudos. In addition to Freeman’s nod, it earned Clint Eastwood best director honors. The film also received one of the group’s Freedom of Expression Awards.Carey Mulligan was named best actress for her turn as a spirited British schoolgirl just beginning to taste London’s swingin’ ’60s in “An Education.” (via ‘Up in the Air’ wins NBR best picture

![SUNDANCE 2010: out of competition films bring out the big guns!
[wongie says: i’m totally curious about the michael winterbottom film!]
The Sundance Film Festival’s competition lineup for 2010, announced Wednesday, might demand that audiences wear their serious caps. But the out-of-competition selections allow programmers and viewers to cut loose a little.
The 53 films that populate this year’s Premieres, Next, Spotlight, Park City at Midnight and New Frontier sections run the gamut from the cosmically experimental to the star-studded and silly. There is indeed something for everyone at this year’s event, which runs Jan. 21-31 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. (via Sundance reveals noncompetition lineup
