It’s a critical landslide folks as the Chicago, Florida and St. Louis Film Critic Associations have all recently named David Fincher’s The Social Network the best film of 2010. Additionally, David Fincher (Best Director), Colin Firth (Best Actor), Natalie Portman (Best Actress) and Christian Bale (Best Supporting Actor) were named on all three lists while Melissa Leo (The Fighter) was named Best Supporting Actress by the Florida and St. Louis critics while Hailee Steinfeld was named by the Chicago group and named runner-up by the St. Louis crix.
I have added the complete list of winners from all three directly below as well as updated the “Oscar Overture” with the Chicago critics award. Are these winners helping you solidify your predictions?
