The National Board of Review released its 2013 awards this morning. The Board, based in New York City, aims to “celebrate the distinctive voice of the individual artist, honoring excellence and supporting freedom of expression in film.” Its announcement follows last night’s New York Film Critics Circle Awards—our unofficial push into real awards-season territory. The National Board of Review disagreed with the NYFCC on most of the awards, highlighting the diversity and interest of this year’s crop of films.

The Board awarded its highest honor to Spike Jonze’s “Her.” The modern-day romance has gained lots of buzz recently with a new trailer and the news of Scarlett Johansson’s ineligibility for the Golden Globe. The film premiered at NYFF and opens in theaters on Dec. 18.
