‘Social Network’ Leads Globes With Four Wins
The Social Network is the big winner of the night, clinching the top award for best picture and scooping the most honours of the night – four (best picture, best screenplay, best director, best score). The thank-yous from the stage again acknowledged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose life served as “a metaphor for communication and the way we relate to each other.”
The riveting social networking drama trounced the night’s most nominated film, British historical drama The King’s Speech, which started the night with a leading seven nominations but scored only one with Colin Firth’s much deserved best actor honour.
The Kids Are All Right won two Globes.
Inception, meanwhile, which was nominated for four, left the night empty-handed, as did 127 Hours and The Tourist, which were both nominated for three.
The Fighter won two acting awards and Black Swan one. Indeed, there weren’t that many surprises in the film categories acting wise – Natalie Portman and Colin Firth seem assured Oscars now, while Melissa Leo and Christian Bale should probably also start practicing Academy-worthy acceptance speeches.
It was a good night too for Annette Bening and Paul Giamatti, Steve Buscemi and the cast of Glee – Fox’s musical comedy-drama picked up three Globes.
