"The Social Network" Sweeps National Board of Review Awards
The National Board of Review has dubbed “The Social Network” the Best Picture of 2010, and has also awarded director David Fincher, star Jesse Eisenberg and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin top honors in their respective categories. Though the NBR’s mainstream makeup often means its picks don’t match those of other groups, notably the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, many expect this to be the film’s first step toward an Oscar.
