Is The Social Network the Academy Awards favorite? Other than The King’s Speech, no other film is receiving as much love on year end ‘Best of 2010′ lists, as well as multiple nominations and awards from critics and various film associations. Based on the book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’, the film tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg and how he started Facebook, and turned it into the social and economic force it is today.

The Social Network has received love from The Golden Globes, The National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle, L.A. Film Critics Association, Screen Actors Guild, Roger Ebert, Entertainment Weekly and just about every other relevant film critic in America. With momentum like that, coupled with a very nice box office return of over $90 million, The Social Network seems like a lock to get multiple Oscar nominations this year, including Best Picture. At this point, it’s likely just a question of how many Oscar nominations the film gets.
