National Board of Review to announce honourees in December

National Board of Review (NRB) will announce the recipients of the 2025 NBR Awards on December 3, the group said on Wednesday.

The honourees will be celebrated at a gala event on January 13, 2026, at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York.

The voting group of film enthusiasts, filmmakers, professionals and academics recognises the traditional categories as well as breakthrough performance, directorial debut, and outstanding achievement in both cinematography and stunt artistry.

Last season saw top awards go to Wicked and that film’s director Jon M. Chu, Daniel Craig for Queer, Nicole Kidman for Babygirl, The Seed Of The Sacred Fig for international film, Flow for animation, and Anora lead Mikey Madison for breakthrough performance.
