Jimmy Kimmel weaves the two movies together with a hilarious outcome. "The Social Network" and "Inception" also receive multiple nominations. "The King's Speech" dominated the nominations for the 83rd annual Academy Awards on Tuesday morning, earning 12 nods including best picture and best lead actor for Colin Firth as King George IV, who battles to eradicate his stammer when he suddenly takes the throne. David Fincher's Facebook movie "The Social Network" is headed into the 83rd Oscars ceremony tonight with eight nominations, including the Best Picture and Best Actor awards. The film faces stiff competition from the likes of "The King's Speech", "True Grit", and "Black Swan." But given that The Social Network was a critical darling, and that it also walked away with four Golden Globe awards (including Best Picture), I think it has a good chance at winning some major categories. (Check out my podcast review of the film with VentureBeat's Anthony Ha.) I'll be live updating this post during the Oscars ceremony to reflect The Social Network's wins and losses. Here's a rundown of the film's award nominations: Best Picture Best Actor, Andrew Garfield Directing, David Fincher Adapted Screenplay, Aaron Sorkin Cinematography, Jeff Cronenworth Editing, Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter Original Score, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Sound Mixing Tags: Academy Awards, Oscars, the social network Companies: Facebook As Obama comes to town, the city begins to regain its personality Hailee Steinfeld, the young star of the box office hit "True Grit," tells TODAY's Hoda Kotb and guest host Jimmy Fallon what it was like to work with Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges.
