THE Facebook film "The Social Network" picked up four awards, including best movie, from a key industry group in the first major honors of Hollywood's awards season, helping to narrow the list of this year's Oscar contenders.
The National Board of Review, a group of movie industry watchers and film professionals, gave best director to "Social Network" maker David Fincher, and its best actor award went to Jesse Eisenberg, who portrays Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Aaron Sorkin won for adapted screenplay.
The movie offers audiences a fictional portrayal of the rise of the social networking website from an idea dreamed up in a college dormitory to its first one million users.
Among other top awards, the National Board of Review gave its best actress trophy to British star Lesley Manville for "Another Year," which tells of the story of one year in the life of a -married couple.
Christian Bale was named best supporting actor for his work as a faded, drug-addicted boxer in "The Fighter" and Jacki Weaver claimed best supporting actress with her role in the Australian crime film "Animal Kingdom."
"Winter's Bone" star Jennifer Lawrence, who portrays a girl searching for her father in a drug-infested community of rural Arkansas, was given an award for breakthrough performance, and director Sofia Coppola was given a special honor for her "Somewhere."
The National Board of Review's awards will be given out at a banquet on January 11 in New York City.
