The awards season marathon continues on: Tonight, the 2026 National Board of Review Gala takes place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. Hosted by journalist Willie Geist, the ceremony is celebrating excellence in filmmaking—across categories such best picture, best director, and of course, best actor and actress, among others.
Naturally, a starry crowd turns up for the annual affair. Presenters this evening include Emily Blunt, Michael B. Jordan, and Wunmi Mosaku, while special awards will be go to stars such as Chase Infiniti, Benicio Del Toro, Eva Victor, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Rose Byrne.
Before the accolades are handed out, of course, Hollywood’s buzziest talents hit the red carpet in their finest evening attire. Given the event is a lower-key affair—compared to, say, the Golden Globes or the Oscars—you can expect A-list stars to experiment and (hopefully) bring out some unexpected looks, whether that is a custom, vintage, or a fresh-off-the-catwalk design.
