2015 Awards -- National Board of Review

Holy wow! If anyone claims they called this one, I'll be the first to not believe them. But sticking it's neck into the Best of 2015 race is Mad Max: Fury Road! Granted, it got practically straight raves across the board from critics when it was released way back in May, but to say it's an Awards film is something very few to no one saw coming. 
The National Board of Review is one of the first major awards announced every year. Some love spread around here between Mad Max, The Martian taking a few big categories, Tarantino's newest The Hateful Eight also dipping in, and surprise surprise a win for Rocky himself for Supporting Actor! Full list of winners are...
