“Top Gun: Maverick is a thrilling crowd-pleaser that is expertly crafted on every level,” NBR President Annie Schulhof said.
“Tom Cruise, Joseph Kosinski, and the entire [film-making] team have succeeded in making an incredibly popular film that brought audiences back to theaters, while at the same time being a full-on cinematic achievement.”
The National Board of Review made their picks Thursday, and Claudio Miranda was awarded best cinematography for his work on the sequel to the 1986 classic.
