'The Social Network' Wins Big at Golden Globes (Complete List)

Jeffrey Weeks
The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards came and went with "The Social Network" dominating with four trophy wins including Best Picture and Best Director.

My predictions held up well as I correctly called the triumphs from the "The Social Network" as well the victory for independent production "The Kids Are All Right" in the Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical category.

Most of the live buzz centered around host Ricky Gervai's funny but sharp opening commentary which brought an on-stage rebuke from Robert Downey Jr. Gervai pulled a strange disappearing act about half-way through the broadcast and was more subdued when he returned, prompting plenty of twitter comments.

Natalie Portman won the Best Actress Golden Globe for her role as a dancer in "Black Swan," and Colin Firth took the Best Actor award for his role in "The King's Speech."

Paul Giamatti won the best actor in a musical or comedy for "Barney's Version," and Annette Bening was named best comic actress for "The Kids Are All Right." Christian Bale won the award for the best performance in a supporting role for "The Fighter"

"Toy Story 3" grabbed the Golden Globe for the Best Animated Film.
