The sometimes-wacky but always first National Board of Review announced its award winners and top films today, and the board positively flipped for Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, which won Best Picture, Best Actor for George Clooney (tied with Morgan Freeman), and Best Supporting Actress for today's Movieline interview, Anna Kendrick. That's right, Kendrick beat heavy favorite Mo'Nique -- in fact, Precious didn't even make the NBR's list of the top eleven films of the year, trumped by Star Trek and (500) Days of Summer.
