(L-R) Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake at New York premiere.

4 Dec – "The Social Network" was awarded the Best Picture of 2010 by the New York National Board of Review recently, which also honoured director David Fincher ("The Case Of Benjamin Button") as well as screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and named Jesse Eisenberg "Best Actor" in the critically-acclaimed Facebook drama.

The group's president Annie Schulhof lauded the ingenuous drama for being a timeless story that will "appeal to many generations".

According to Box Office Mojo, the movie adaptation had taken the U.S. box office by storm, ending its run with US$90.5 million.

"The Social Network" depicts the real life story of the founder behind the famous social networking site, Facebook and the lawsuits that he had to face due to the successful development of the site.

Cinema Online's "The Social Network" contest winners recently managed to catch the long-awaited movie at TGV KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. After the movie, viewers were asked what they thought of the movie, what they would say or do to Mark Zuckerberg upon meeting him and how many stars would they rate the movie out of 5.

Malini Anne Jerry: "It was a really good movie. If I get to meet Mark, I'll say 'Wow, you're so young but you have great brains!' I'll congratulate him too for coming up with a great site that connects people all over the world. 5 stars!"

Franky: "It was quite good as the movie's pace picks up from the middle. If I can meet Mark in person, I will take photographs with him and tag him on my own account! 4 stars."

"The Social Network" is now showing in cinemas.
