The NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW announces tomorrow, everyone! Exciting, isn't it? Well, alright. Today's news was rather uneventful. The Satellites proved as useless as ever today by filling up their categories well over the brim with about an average of 8 per category. I think I was off by my earlier pronouncement that the Annies would announce their nominees today by about five days. Whoops!
Anyways, I include the picture of Eastwood and Damon up at the top to feature what I think will be some surprise rewards handed out to the relatively unsuccessful Hereafter from earlier this year. Eastwood's movies going back to Mystic River have not gone unrecognized once by the National Board Review, and considering he has something pretty much every year he proves to be a noticeable presence each year. Unlike with something like Invictus last year, though, Hereafter has already opened unenthusiastically. We shall see.
