“Every so often, a movie comes along with performances that set the standard for a generation of actors. The Social Network combines a theme that defines our time with performances that redefine acting for the screen. The Social Network is important not because it is about this current moment in history, but because the human motivations of the characters make it a parable for this or any age. The Palm Springs International Film Festival is proud to present the cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer and Rooney Mara, with the 2011 Ensemble Performance Award.”

Andrew is nominated once again for Best Supporting Actor by the Chicago Film Critics Association. And “The Social Network” is up for all the usual awards (Best Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Score, etc) once again. Congrats!!
