The 2025 award show season is in full swing. After the Golden Globe Awards this past Sunday, the National Board of Review Awards on Jan. 7 continued to honor some of the year’s best movies and performances.
Among the honorees of the star-studded night was Nicole Kidman, who was given the Best Actress Award for Babygirl, Daniel Craig, who was named Best Actor for Queer, Mikey Madison, who was honored with the Breakthrough Performance Award for Anora and Wicked, who was named 2024’s Best Film, Best Director and Best Creative Collaboration between Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
It was a Wicked reunion for Grande and Erivo who celebrated with co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Ethan Slater, and director Jon M. Chu. SheKnows captured one of those reunion moments on the red carpet.
“Wicked is indeed wicked,” presenter Ryan Reynolds said of the Best Film winner before they took the stage, per People. “It dares to center on two powerful women. It examines a nuanced, complex relationship which has resonated with people for over two decades on stage. Stories about women seem to be held to a different set of standards, and that is to say that they’re often held to the standards women are held to in life. You must be perfect. You must must hide your strength. You must shape-shift or placate. But Donna Langley and Universal, they know where and with whom to place their trust, and it paid off in this film.”
