Los Angeles Film Critics Awards

Well...they are starting to flood in. All the newspaper publication critics are weighing in on who they think are the best films and performances of 2010. To start off, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has started the ball rolling, with The Social Network taking the honors for their best picture winner. I have a feeling this won't be the film's only win. I'm in the minority where I just don't get the hype of people claiming it this great movie.
