It was a wonderful night time for The King&#8217s Speech and Inception at the 83rd Academy Awards Sunday &#8212 and a fairly far more disappointing outcome for their main rival, David Fincher&#8217s The Social Network.

Fincher&#8217s film, a fictionalized account of the rise of Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, won a whole of three Oscars. Author Aaron Sorkin, also acknowledged for West Wing and A Handful of Excellent Males, won Very best Adapted Screenplay (it was based mostly on Ben Mezrich&#8217s e-book &#8220The Accidental Billionaires&#8221), while 9 Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor won Best Authentic Score for the movie&#8217s haunting music. It also won an award for Very best Film Editing.

But The Social Network had been nominated for a total of 8 awards &#8212 and had been hotly tipped for Finest Image until The King&#8217s Speech started off picking up buzz a number of months back. It failed to win for cinematography, Best Actor, Best Director or Finest Picture. The King&#8217s Speech won five Academy Awards, such as Best Photo, Very best Director, and Greatest Actor for Colin Firth. Chris Nolan&#8217s dream-inside-a-dream Inception also won 5, including Very best Special Results for its gorgeous personal computer-created imagery.

For The Social Network&#8216s fans, it will be specifically disappointing that the film won awards for sound, vision and script &#8212 but apparently was not greater than the sum of those parts. And in what appeared practically like a snub, Sorkin&#8217s acceptance speech was the only one particular to be cut short by the Academy&#8217s &#8220play them out&#8221 audio.

Nevertheless, for a motion picture that&#8217s all about a nerd who fights to be well-known but fails to fit in, it would seem an proper outcome.
