National Society of Film Critics Winners: 'Social Network' Makes Another Friend

'The Social Network'added another critics' prize to its growing list of kudos, winning the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Picture and begging the question, what's more popular: Facebook, or the Facebook movie?

In addition to Best Picture, 'The Social Network' also picked up awards for Best Actor (Jesse Eisenberg), Best Director (David Fincher) and Best Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin).

The rest of the awards were a mix of names both familiar, with Geoffrey Rush winning the Best Supporting Actor prize for'The King's Speech,'and less well known, with Italian actress Giovanna Mezzogiorno being recognized for her lead role in'Vincere.'Another surprise came with Olivia Williams's beating out Amy Adams, Melissa Leo and Jacki Weaver for Best Actress for her role in Roman Polanski's'The Ghost Writer.'

As for what this means for the Oscars, 'The Social Network' is riding the momentum, but the strong showings for films like 'The King's Speech' and 'The Ghost Writer' may help them gain traction among Academy voters, asthe Hollywood Reporter notes. Certainly the notion of a few surprises might be a welcome one for awards-watchers; as NFSFC voter Richard T. Jameson says in the Reporter,"Votingwise, I think it's been a dull consensus year, with 'The Social Network' the 'Schindler's List' of 2010."
