Up in the Air Wins Awards from U.S. National Review Board
Up in the Air, directed by Montreal’s Jason Reitman, won four awards Friday from the U.S. National Review Board, including one for best film, reports CBC.
The film, which stars George Clooney, opened in a limited number of theatres Friday, with wide release scheduled for Christmas Day.
The U.S. National Review Board’s awards are generally a good prediction for which films will be getting Oscar recognition in March. Recently, No Country for Old Men and Slumdog Millionaire went on to win best picture at the Academy Awards after being named best film by the U.S. National Review Board.
Reitman, 32, received Oscar recognition in 2007 when his film Juno was nominated for best picture and won for best original screenplay.
Awards from the National Board of Review will be given out Jan. 12 at a ceremony in New York City.
