The Social Network

The Social Network is a 2010 biographical drama film directed by David Fincher. It is based on Ben Mezrich's 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires and depicts the creation of the social networking website Facebook as well as the subsequent lawsuits. This cool, incisive drama is far more than a "Facebook" film, as it uses Mark Zuckerberg's dramatic "origin story" of Facebook to tell a much larger story about what happens when the people running the world's largest companies are barely out of college.

It received eight nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Eisenberg, and won three: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing. At the 68th Golden Globe Awards, it was also nominated for Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score.
