Boston & NY Online Critics Chime In

The Boston Film Critics and the New York Critics Online have announced their yearly awards and it looks pretty clear that The Social Network has quickly become THE film to beat for the Best Picture Oscar (taking top honors from the NBR and LA critics recently as well). Natalie Portman in Black Swan and Christian Bale in The Fighter are also beginning to take a frontrunner stance in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor races respectively.  Other frontrunners beginning to take shape are Jacki Weaver for Supporting Actress for her role in Animal Kingdom (though she didn't take the two awards below, she has won the LA and NBR awards earlier), Aaron Sorkin for his The Social Network Screenplay (it would be considered Adapted Screenplay in the Oscars eyes, as they give two awards for adapted and Original), Toy Story 3 for Animated Picture and Black Swan's cinematography for Matthew Libatique.  The NY critics announce their winners tomorrow and the Golden Globes will reveal their nominees the day after that.
