They ended up giving "The Social Network" both Best Picture and Best Director. I really want to see the breakdown of votes so I can see just how well my personal favourites "Black Swan" and "Winter's Bone" did. Last year, the breakdown of votes for the LJ Simulated Oscars showed that things had not gone at all well for my personal favourite "A Serious Man" (though admittedly the film was more popular than "District 9", "Avatar" and "The Blind Side" straight off the bat).
Last year's winner for Best Picture was "Inglorious Basterds". If there's one thing you can give this simulation credit for, it's not predictable. Still, "The Social Network" winning feels as horrible to me as if "Avatar" had won last year. David Fincher was great when he made "Seven" and "Fight Club" and even "Alien 3", but after the instantly forgettable "Zodiac" and the by-the-numbers "Panic Room" with its gimmicky CGI kettle, it feels like entirely too late to start praising him for his direction.
