Up in the Air named Best Film of 2009 by National Board of Review
Jason Reitman's film Up in the Air starring George Clooney was chosen the Best Film of 2009, and Clint Eastwood was named Best Director for Invictus by the National Board of Review in the first big awards of Hollywood's Oscar season.
Up in the Air stars George Clooney as a corporate villain ultimately forced to contemplate his own life. In Eastwood's Invictus, Morgan Freeman portrays Nelson Mandela trying to unite South Africa through rugby.
Awards from groups like The National Board of Review and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association give filmmakers and actors prestige and help studios promote the films ahead of the Academy Awards on March 7.
Last year's best film Academy Award winner, Slumdog Millionaire, also claimed the best movie honor from the National Board of Review.
