'A Most Violent Year' Named National Board of Review's Best Film

Jessica Chastain's new film A Most Violent Year has been named the National Board of Review's Best Film.

Filmmaker J.C. Chandor's New York crime drama surprisingly beat out the likes of movies such as Boyhood and Birdman, which have emerged as early Oscars favourites.

In addition to landing the top honor on Tuesday, the movie's two stars, Oscar Isaac and Chastain, have claimed the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress prizes, respectively.

Birdman star Michael Keaton has tied with Isaac for the Best Actor accolade, and his co-star Edward Norton has been named Best Supporting Actor, while Clint Eastwood picks up the Best Director title for his upcoming military drama American Sniper.

Other winners at the American film awards include Julianne Moore (Best Actress prize for Still Alice) and British actor Jack O'Connell, who is recognized for his work in Starred Up and Unbroken with the Breakthrough Performance trophy.

The awards will be handed out at a ceremony in New York City on January 6.
