THE NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEWS

STAR WARS : The Force Awakens will not win ANY awards

WHY? Simply because in order to be considered the movie would have to submit a screener to the individuals responsible for picking the winners.

Screeners are essentially just special DVD copies of the film which have become a primary source for pirates to get early high-quality version of the movie.

This of course is the last thing that Disney, Lucasfilm, or king of the mystery box J.J.Abrams wants to happen and the best way to prevent it is to simply not bother with the awards.
