Film critics group: ‘Social Network’ is 2010 pick
The National Society of Film Critics on Saturday selected “The Social Network” as the best picture of 2010.
The fictional look at the creation of Facebook dominated at the society’s annual awards, which were voted on by 46 prominent movie critics gathered at a Manhattan restaurant.
Jesse Eisenberg was named best actor for his role as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the social networking website. David Fincher won for best director and Aaron Sorkin for best screenplay.
The society, founded in 1966, is composed of 61 film critics from across the country, including Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times, the Los Angeles Times’ Kenneth Turan, The Wall Street Journal’s Joe Morgenstern and David Denby of The New Yorker.
While these critics’ choices rarely reflect top honors at the Academy Awards, the New York-based society helps draw attention to new films in advance of the Oscars, staged in late February by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
You didn’t list any asian men? What up with that?
Something in my brain is telling me that I want Christian Bale, Ralph Fiennes, Pierce Brosnan and Hugh Jackman. Perhaps their accents and/or voice pitches are triggering the dopamine in my brain and causing me to want sex. Once again, that brain of mine is up to no good!
I don’t get the expressions Word Up or What Up
I am beginning to feel quite old! There is a generation gap thing going on here.
Anyone want to collaborate with me on the screenplay of ‘The Asian American Cultural Connection’?
It is sure to be a major hit! I get to pick the actor who will play my future husband though. Possible choices are the following:
Christian Bale
Ralph Fiennes
Pierce Brosnan
Hugh Jackman
