Boston Society of Film Critics Awards

Another big win for The Social Network. Also, finally some love for Portman and Bening, who are the top two in best actress. Also a really cool win for Juliette Lewis, although I think the Melissa Leo 2nd place is more telling in terms of the Oscar picture. Overall, I really liked these awards, although Firth should be ahead of Eisenberg, but overall, some great choices.
