The National Board of Review presents its picks of the best of 2012 from the over 250 films that they viewed this year. On top of the list is Zero Dark Thirty with wins for best picture, director and best actress as well. I'm so pleased to see Looper's screenplay get a well deserved win for Rian Johnson. A big hurrah for the sic-fi genre.
