NBR President Annie Schulhof: "[Letters] perhaps one of the greatest films of our time."
“2006 was one of the most challenging for the NBR in terms of choosing winners in the various categories,” said NBR President Annie Schulhof. “There were many outstanding films and performances this year, and our 2006 Ten Best Films list reflects a wide range of narratives. LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA is probably Mr. Eastwood's masterpiece and perhaps one of the greatest films of our time. His achievement is all the more extraordinary when one views the film as a companion piece to FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. We are also proud to honor the special career achievements of Eli Wallach, Irwin Winkler, Jonathan Demme and Donald Krim, all of whom are such talented and deserving people. The accounting firm of Lutz & Carr tabulated the actual ballots.”
This thing begins to get more and more interesting. Keep in mind that no foreign language film has ever won Best Picture on Oscar night. Though, there is a first time for everything. Stay tuned. It's bound to be an entertaining season.
