Isn’t it wild how the cosmos keeps tossing us curveballs just as the National Board of Review drops its 2025 award list? With the planetary alignments hinting at fierce competition and unexpected victories, it feels only fitting that One Battle After Another surged ahead, snagging Best Film along with four other shiny accolades. Talk about a celestial nod to resilience and grit—this film seems to channel that Mars in Scorpio energy, charging through obstacles with relentless passion. Last year’s darling, Wicked, made way for this powerhouse, proving that the stars (and critics) love a good saga of perseverance. And hey, if Paul Thomas Anderson directing and Leonardo DiCaprio acting don’t align like a cosmic duet, what does? Buckle up as we dive into a constellation of winners that are lighting up the awards night sky like a meteor shower. LEARN MORE
