And we’re off! The awards season has officially kicked off with the National Board of Review’s cadre of honors, which David Fincher’s The Social Network handily swept.
Nabbing Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Social Network (a.k.a. “The Facebook Movie”) was heralded by NBR President Annie Schulhof as “a dramatic story that will stand up over time and appeal to many generations.”
Back when the film premiered in October, Mashable’s Christina Warren proclaimed: “As Zuckerberg, Jesse Eisenberg is brilliant. I fully expect to see his name on the shortlist for Best Actor nominees when award season ramps up.”
Well, you might as well swap “Christina” for “Cassandra” (sans the whole curse thing). The NBR awards are considered a pretty good indicator of what’s to come when Oscar time rolls around, so we’ll see what transpires in the Academy in the coming months.
