Fox Searchlight/
Fox Atomic chief
Peter Rice shares a chat with
Picturehouse prez
Bob Berney (right) just as the staff was trying to get everyone seated for the dinner portion of the
National Board of Review awards gala Tuesday night. Picturehouse's "
Pan's Labyrinth" was named one of five best foreign films (along with "
Curse of the Golden Flower," "
Days of Glory," "
Water" and victor, "
Volver"), while Searchlight's "
The Last King of Scotland" star,
Forest Whitaker received the organization's Best Actor award. (By the way, dinner wasn't all that bad considering it was a mass meal for around 1000 people).
