That meant that the NBR Awards, put on by a long-running group of film enthusiasts, was a chance to stoke buzz and polish acceptance speeches. The National Board of Review makes it easier, too, by announcing winners in advance and pairing each with a lavish introduction from a collaborator or friend. Spielberg, who won best director for his movie-memoir “The Fabelmans,” was introduced by “West Side Story” star Ariana DeBose.
Gabriel LaBelle, who plays a fictionalized version of young Spielberg in “The Fabelmans” and was honored for breakthrough performance along with Danielle Deadwyler of “Till," similarly described the life-changing nature of a call from Spielberg. Meanwhile, the awards hopes for a pair of theatrical successes — “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — have risen. “Top Gun” star Tom Cruise didn't attend Sunday, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer applauded him while accepting for best film.
"One day Hollywood did come calling. It was an absolute dream come true. We all wanted to go to Hollywood — until I got there," Yeoh said. “Suddenly, I was a minority. I mean, how did that happen? There are more of me than you! I was typecast. I didn't see faces like mine on the screen. I met with people who didn't know where Korea and China and Japan were."
