The National Board of Review has finally made its choice for this year's Best Film and the honor went to "A Most Violent Year".

"A Most Violent Year" is a story focused on the American dream and brings viewers back to 1982 New York.

The movie features Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain, who also received awards for their excellent acting. Isaac won the Best Actor award, which he shared with "Birdman"'s Michael Keaton, while Chastain won as Best Supporting Actress.

Edward Norton won as Best Supporting Actor and Clint Eastwood won the Best Director Award for "American Sniper".

"Boyhood" was also named as one of the best films by the National Board of Review but it was shut out. Last year, the Board included 11 films in their top list, but only five of those 11 films were nominated to the Academy awards.

The other winners were Julianne Moore, Best Actress for the movie "Still Alice"; Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, Best Original Screenplay for the movie "The Lego Movie"; Paul Thomas Anderson, Best Adapted Screenplay  for the movie "Inherent Vice"; "How to Train Your Dragon 2" for Best Animated Feature; Jack O'Connell, Breakthrough Performance for the movie "Starred Up & Unbroken"; "Wild Tales" for Best Foreign Language Film, and "Life Itself" for Best Documentary.

The National Board of Review, founded in 1909 in New York City, is a film organization that endorses films to the public. It is the first to choose the ten best English-language films of the year and is also the first organization to announce its annual awards.

Frtiz Lang, Tennessee Williams, Allstair Cooke, Pearl Buck and Alfred Hitchcock are just among the contributors to the organization.
