O hail Facebook and Twitter!

As expected, 'The Social Network' takes home the big bacon, being named the the best
picture of 2010, by The Toronto Film Critics Association besides receiving special honors from Los Angeles and New York film critics groups.

The Facebook flick also features other winners, including David Fincher who was awarded best director, while Jesse Eisenberg bagged the best actor title for his portrayal of Facebook founder and young billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. Best supporting actor went to Armie Hammer.

Says film critic for McClean's magazine Brian Johnson, "We appreciate what it represents in popular American film culture, an intelligent moral drama told from multiple viewpoints with a complex protagonist who is neither hero no villain."

It would be interesting as to what the real Mark Zuckerberg has to say about the paramount success the film is reaping. After all, he wasn't actually thumbs up on the way he was depicted in the story.

Still, the film paves the way for aspiring young tycoons out there, righty?
