More Awards: The Social Network Will Not Settle for 2nd Place

You know what’s better than winning most of the best picture awards? Winning all of them. Or so it would seem. The San Francisco Film Critics and The Toronto Film Critics have both announced their awards and The Social Network came out on top again, right on the heels of its Best Picture awards from New York Film Critics Online, New York Film Critics circle and the AFI/Los Angeles Film Critics one-two combo. However, there are still a few interesting choices in this batch of winners including a Best Actress win for Michelle Williams and some well-deserved love for Exit Through the Giftshop and Uncle Boonmee who can Recall His Past Lives. Read on for the full list!
