Burton Earns Best Director Honors
Reuters Canada reports Tim Burton won the National Board of Review's Best Director award today for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Congratulations, Tim!
The NBR, though fallible, is often viewed as a reliable predictor of Oscar results:
The NBR, though fallible, is often viewed as a reliable predictor of Oscar results:
NBR members include educators, historians and film industry professionals, and its awards can portend winners at the Oscars, the world's top movie honors presented in February by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Still, NBR honors are no guarantee of Oscar success. The board sometimes disdains box office blockbusters in favor of more esoteric choices, and two years ago delayed announcing winners after garnering criticism for omitting directors of critically acclaimed films like "Capote" and "Walk the Line."

definitly suprised to see burton honored.
it seems like depp has a great shot at an oscar nod here this year.
Although it would be cool to see Johnny up for an award,seeing Burton up for directing would be far cooler given his career of following his own path with his very individual vision.
Okay ,I take back my previous comment. I just checked and while I knew Depp had been nominated for an Oscar twice I had no idea he'd been nominated for a Golden Globe SEVEN times! Who is he ? Susan Lucci?? Let's get this bridesmaid married folks!
He should win Oscar,but they never ask what we think and they don't care.
