The Boston Society of Film Critics showers 'Social Network' with honors

 

Sunday was a big day for "The Social Network." Not only did the drama about the founders of the Internet site Facebook win best film from the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. and was one of the 10 films to win the AFI Awards, it also received top honors from the Boston Society of Film Critics.

In sweeping the early awards, "Social Network" could be building momentum for an Oscar win in February.

In addition to best film, "Social Network" also took the directing award for David Fincher, actor for Jesse Eisenberg, screenplay for Aaron Sorkin and a citation for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' score.
