Awards -- National Society of Film Critics

Usually a group to go with a less popular, less widely-released film as their choice (notice films #2 & #3), the National Society have through their hat in the now uber-sized Social Network ring. A near sweep of all categories conceivable to win, including a 1 vote win for Jesse Eisenberg for actor. Also, a nice showing from a film that I'm hoping received a few surprise nods, "The Ghost Writer", which landed on 3 lists, including a supporting actress win for Olivia Williams.
