I predicted Social Network to take Best Pic, Director and Screenplay before I even saw it, and it appears it\’s on track to do just that. It will not win Best Actor (that will be between Firth and Franco) or Supporting Actor (that will be between Rush and Bale), but Fincher is due and like I\’ve pointed out before, his competetion (Coens and Boyle) have won recently. 127 Hours can\’t be ignored by the Academy though, not with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, but of course they did ignore Into the Wild, so who knows. And how did The Town take Best Ensemble and not The Social Network…or Inception…or True Grit? Just saying.

The Social Network is a LOCK for a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar WIN, but only a lock for NOMS in Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

The inclusion of \”Hereafter\” is much more egregious, but these nerds also had the dull as rock \”Invictus\” in there last year too. Eh.

I\’ll admit that this has not been an exciting year for film, but I cannot get past the inclusion of Greenberg.
