My hope is that The Social Network wins the Oscar for best film - a real achievement to make a film about the internet so engrossing. From the opening scene I felt as if I could not leave the world of that movie - it sucks you in. But I think Colin Firth deserves Best Actor. I found it difficult to listen to him struggle so for the 2 hours of the film. A hard role to do well enough that people will stay put and listen and watch as you try to speak. The movie had a very slow pace. But I enjoyed the inside view of royal life during that time and his relationship with his therapist.
