The Social Network semakin memperbesar peluangnya untuk memenangkan Academy Awards! Pada perhelatan The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards yang untuk keduakalinya dibawakan oleh komedian asal Inggris, Ricky Gervais, film karya David Fincher tersebut berhasil memenangkan empat penghargaan termasuk Best Motion Picture – Drama dan Best Director. Kemenangan ini jelas akan semakin membuka jalan bagi The Social Network untuk dapat menunjukkan taringnya di ajang Academy Awards mendatang setelah sebelumnya banyak memenangkan berbagai penghargaan dari para kritikus film dunia.

Tidak cukup banyak kejutan yang terjadi di sepanjang acara, ketika banyak film yang telah diunggulkan sebelumnya berakhir dengan benar-benar memenangkan pernghargaan. Dua kejutan kemenangan yang mungkin tidak diprediksi sebelumnya adalah kemenangan In a Better World karya sutradara Susanne Bier di kategori Best Foreign Language Film — menyingkirkan kandidat kuat I Am Love dan Biutiful — serta kemenangan lagu You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me dari film Burlesque yang berhasil menyingkirkan kandidat kuat yakni lagu I See the Light dari film animasi Tangled.

Sementara itu, untuk kategori televise, serial komedi musical Glee berhasil mempertahankan eksistensinya di ajang penghargaan ini. Untuk tahun ini, Glee berhasil meraih tiga penghargaan sekaligus termasuk mempertahankan kemenangannya di kategori Best Television Series – Comedy dengan menyingkirkan pesaing kuatnya yang beberapa waktu lalu berhasil memenangkan Emmy Awards, Modern Family.
