StevenSpielberg and TopGunMovie feted by National Board of Review Sunday
NEW YORK -- The prize for best film of the year at the National Board of Review Awards went to"Top Gun: Maverick." Martin McDonagh's"The Banshees of Inisherin" took home the most trophies. But the night belonged to its best-director honoree, Steven Spielberg, and the parade of tributes paid to the 76-year-old filmmaker.
DeBose recalled being in a nail salon when"Steven Spielberg" called to ask if she would join the cast. "I feel like I'm in debt, like I owe you, like I owe you my first born child or something," LaBelle said, still in apparent disbelief at his turn of fate."I don't know how I'll ever pay you back.""My whole career in all the films I've directed -- my job, as I have seen it -- is as the accompanist and the conductor to whoever or whatever should be the center of your attention," he said.
Though Spielberg is renowned as a hitmaker,"The Fabelmans" has struggled to ignite at the box office with just $15.1 million worldwide, sapping some of its Oscar momentum. After being introduced by her"Crazy Rich Asians" co-star Awkwafina,"Everything Everywhere All at Once" star Michelle Yeoh accepted the award for best actress. The Malaysian-born Yeoh noted she was the first Asian to win the award in nearly five decades, something that caused her to reflect on her journey from Hong Kong to Hollywood.
"When Janelle floats, when she glides into a room, the chemicals in the air change," Craig said of his"Glass Onion" co-star."When I had the privilege of working with her, every day she lifted me up."
