The National Board of Review named 'Wicked' as the top film of the year, and director Jon M. Chu also received recognition, winning best director.
However, historically, the NBR’s best picture winners have a mere 12% chance of also winning the Oscar for best picture, raising concerns about 'Wicked’s' chances.
While 'Wicked' received accolades, the disconnect between NBR’s taste and the Academy’s is notable; their past selections rarely align with Oscar nominations.
NBR’s credibility is questioned since their best director picks align with the Academy Award only three times in the last 24 years.
