2008 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards Gala was held at Cipriani’s, 42nd Street New York and there was quite a turnout.

Penelope Cruz grabs the headline at this event for us with her role in the film Vicki Christina Barcelona, a highly rated film by us getting the nod from various awards but yet to win a gong, its Woody Allen directed, its naughty, funny and Penelope Cruz’s acting in this is something else and she won the best Supporting Actress Award for this role.
