One The Was Nominated Last Year: The Social Network
Yet another film about vampires...."energy" vampires that is. It seems that for a film based on a true life "success story" we seem to play it a lot for Fright Night--that is because it is an unbelievably dark film about a truly troubled, probably genius, kid who gets turned into a controlling billionaire almost without trying. It is also because the jury is still seriously out on how Facebook sets rules for the users of the networking service. The dark side of it that the site has been used by stalkers and people who have no good intentions to find people who had previously successfully banished these people from their lives, in some case years or even decades before. There is, of course, no doubt that social networking is here to stay--and Facebook isn't the only game in town--it's just the biggest (for now), so they make the rules....if some of those rules turn out to be negative or even dangerous--let's hope they don't wait too long to change them! So, by my standards, this is pretty dark stuff. But, also I'm watching because, as I've previously stated, I'm a big fan of Jessie Eisenberg.

Won Best Writing--Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin
A music video by young hip/hop artist Luke Christopher, who was allowed to use some of the award winning soundtrack music in rap about how cool computers are now that social networking is so hot and easy to use...clearly most people don't share the same dark suspicions about some aspects of being so public in a private life.
