"The Post" dominated this year's National Board of Review awards with three major wins, including Best Actor and Best Actress.

The National Board of Review (NBR) has made their selections for the best films and performances of 2017. “The Post” has taken top honors, winning the Best Film prize, while Laurie Metcalf, Willem Dafoe, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep all received acting honors. Greta Gerwig earned the Best Director prize.

The NBR is often one of the first organizations to announce their end-of-the-year selections, followed closely by the New York Film Critics Circle (which makes its announcement on November 30). Awards season officially kicked off with the Gotham Awards on November 27, where “Get Out” earned three awards and “Call Me By Your Name” won Best Feature.

While the NBR awards are considered a forerunner to predicting Oscar nominations, the organization’s prizes don’t always line up with the Academy’s final choices. The NBR Best Film prize has gone to Best Picture nominees like “Manchester By the Sea,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Her,” and “Zero Dark Thirty” in the past, but the group has also awarded outliers like “A Most Violent Year” with their top prize as well. The last NBR Best Film winner to go on to win the Best Picture Oscar was “Slumdog Millionaire” in 2008.
