Reiner got on the scoreboard first, co-presenting the Spotlight Award to Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio along with Jon Favreau and the spotlight-shy Spike Jonze. “By the way, Spike, you can jump in any time you want,” Reiner razzed, as he and Favreau exchanged banter. “You see, he did that movie Her where the guy can’t — he doesn’t have a good — he can’t talk to people too well. It’s autobiographical.”

The three directors all have small roles in The Wolf of Wall Street, and though they had a great experience making the film, Reiner felt they were short-changed in some regards. “The only thing I felt bad about [while making the movie was] we were never around when there was naked women,” Reiner joked. “Every time. Leo, you were around naked women. Jonah: naked women. Nothing for the three directors. One or two you could’ve had, would’ve been nice. It didn’t have to be in the scene; just bring them around. We’re getting older; we need a little something.”

“My first writing teacher told me that it would be a cold day in hell if I ever won an NBR Award. I got up this morning and checked the temperature...” — Terence Winter, accepting the Best Adapted Screenplay Award for The Wolf of Wall Street

For the most part, the night was long, with verbose speeches punctuated by emcee Lara Spencer, who also spoke at length before every intro. It took The Wolf of Wall Street's Leo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese to wake up the audience with a spirited, hilarious and biting acceptance speech that lasted slightly longer than two minutes.

"I'd like you to go first, but keep it short," Scorsese told DiCaprio at the outset of their joint speech.

"You mean, like under three hours?" quipped DiCaprio, referring to Wolf's run time.

The two were like a married couple, said DiCaprio. And Scorsese said the actor had everything he looked for in a leading man. "Like an Italian last name," retorted DiCaprio.

Leo and Marty`s speech on NBR (Great and funny)

DiCaprio and Scorsese [together]: Well, working in tandem with another artist is—

Scorsese: You go ahead. You go first.

DiCaprio: No, no, no. Please, I insist.

Scorsese: No, no. After you. After you.

DiCaprio: No, honestly. You have a lot more to say about the history of cinema than I do. So you go first. Unless, of course, you want me to go first. Want me to go first?

Scorsese: I’d like you to go first. Just keep it short.

DiCaprio: O.K. You mean, like, under-three-hours short?

Scorsese: Ideally under three hours.

DiCaprio: It has been an incredible honor for me to have worked alongside a director of Marty’s caliber. Marty and I have made five films together, and ours is like any other long-term relationship. On Gangs of New York we courted each other. On Aviator, Departed, and Shutter Island, our kinship and trust expanded and deepened. Now on Wolf of Wall Street, we’re like any old married couple.

Scorsese: It’s often overlooked. It’s labor. That’s at the heart of collaboration. Movies are work. They’re a daily battle, and, you know, if you’re going to go into battle, you’d better go with somebody you respect, somebody you trust, and hopefully somebody you like. And Leo has all the qualities I’m looking for in a great actor.

DiCaprio: You mean like an Italian last name.

Scorsese: That helps. That helps.

DiCaprio: There are directors, and then there are auteurs. When one speaks about Martin Scorsese’s relationship to the world of cinema, one must reflect upon its entire history. You can’t just talk about one film. So in commemoration of tonight, I’ve decided to talk about his entire knowledge of the history of cinema. So if you’d just take a moment and go back to 1896, the Mayer Brothers and Thomas Edison… Or we can skip ahead even to D. W. Griffith, with his small hand-crank camera. You know, they’d even have the same perforation on the film stock that we’ve taken for granted today, but...

Scorsese: I think they get the picture. We don’t need to go back that far, to the perforation of film stock, for God’s sake.

DiCaprio: But I have, like, another 15 minutes.

Scorsese: No, no, no. I think the whole point, the natural point is 1909, the early history of cinema.

DiCaprio: It’s supposed to be about collaboration. We should collaborate on something, do something together.

Scorsese: Collaborating on something, the idea would be to wrap it up. So let’s wrap it up.

DiCaprio: So I go.

Scorsese: O.K.

DiCaprio: All right. So on behalf of Marty—

Scorsese: I want to thank—

DiCaprio: The National Board of Review—

Scorsese: For this wonderful—

DiCaprio: Honor as well as—

Scorsese: Leo—

DiCaprio: Marty. And—

Scorsese: For letting—

DiCaprio: Me—

Scorsese: Finish—

DiCaprio: This. Goodnight.

Strange that a movie about the 80's and 90's is considered contemporary. They probably just stuffed it in to make room for everybody.
