The National Board of Review held its event last night, despite having announced the winners in December: Rachel Zegler, *King Richard*, *Licorice Pizza*, [and more](https://ew.com/awards/national-board-of-review-2021-winners-list/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). And one of the honorees was Aunjanue Ellis. *King Richard* is just as much an ode to the strength of the Williams women as it is to Richard -- the title doesn't tell the whole story -- and her portrayal of Oracene really is wonderful, and I'm thrilled to see her getting recognized. Especially because she is never, ever boring on a red carpet.
