16th Dallas–Fort Worth Film Critics Association Awards
The Social Network was the DFWFCA's most awarded film of 2010 taking top honors in the Best Picture, Best Director (David Fincher), and Best Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin) categories.[4][5] This continued a trend of critics groups across the United States giving their top prizes to the film about the founding of Facebook.[6]
Along with the 11 "best of" category awards, the group also presented the Russell Smith Award to Winter's Bone as the "best low-budget or cutting-edge independent film" of the year.[8] The award is named in honor of late Dallas Morning News film critic Russell Smith.[7]
Winners are listed first and highlighted with boldface.[9] Other films ranked by the annual poll are listed in order.[7] While most categories saw 5 honorees named, some categories ranged from as many as 10 (Best Film) to as few as 2 (Best Cinematography, Best Animated Film, Best Screenplay).
