Oops, "The Social Network" did it again! The Los Angeles Film Critics Association awarded the Best Picture to the David Fincher's directed movie last night, as well as Best Screenplay for Aaron Sorkin. The Best Director award was given to two tied-winners, David Fincher and Olivier Assayas for "Carlos", which was the runner-up for Best Picture. Another tied-award for "The Social Network" is Best Music Score for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross along with Alexandre Displat for "The Ghost Writer".

Colin Firth and Kim Hye-Ja were the Best Actor and Actress respectively, with Edgar Ramirez from "Carlos" and Jennifer Lawrence from "Winter's Bone" as the runner-ups. "Toy Story 3" won Best Animation, while "Inception" won only an award for Best Production Design. Please click here for the full list of LAFCA winners.

After LAFCA Awards ended, the stars were gathered in a Golden Globes afternoon tea in an event held by cooperation of BAFTA/LA. The Golden Globes nominees were having a good time even though they will be contending tomorrow at the award show. From Jeff Bridges, Jeremy Renner, Nicole Kidman, Diane Warren (composer of "Burlesque"), Jane Lynch, Tom Hooper (director of "The King's Speech"), Vanessa Williams, Ryan Gosling, and Michelle Williams were spotted spending a nice time together.

"The King's Speech" director Tom Hooper with Andrew Garfield at the BAFTA/LA Awards Season Tea at Four Seasons. Both are nominated for Golden Globes Award, aired tomorrow.

Andrew Garfield (hmm, yeah, my favorite), who's nominated as Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes, was spotted with his British actor pal Eddie Redmayne (star of "The Yellow Handkerchief" and "Pillars Of The Earth"). "It's nice being in a room with such inspiring, wonderful people to talk to," Andrew said. He also expressed he couldn't believe that he's been invited to attend such honorable award shows ever since "The Social Network" came out to a blast.

Trust me Andrew, if you keep playing like you did in "The Social Network", "Boy A", and "Never Let Me Go", they will keep inviting and nominating you to those great award shows until you become a grandfather.

First Look at Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander

Anyone of you is a fan of Stiegg Larsson's best selling novel "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"? Here's the first look of Rooney Mara who has been chosen to play Lisbeth Salander, the leading female character of the movie directed by David Fincher. The beautiful 25-years-old actress looks 'different' than usual, rocking the dark and super short haircut with piercings and tattoos.

W Magazine did an exclusive photoshoot and interview to Rooney and David, talking mostly about the whole casting process and in-depth talks about the movie. From the interview, David said that they had five or six girls audition with some familiar names such as Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, and the young rising stars Jennifer Lawrence and Emily Browning.

The role eventually went to Rooney, as David wanted Rooney from the beginning of the audition. They previously worked together in 2010's most-acclaimed hit "The Social Network", where Rooney played a minor-but-significant character, Erica Albright. David claimed Rooney as incredibly talented and wanted to work with her again in this franchise. For full article and interview, please click here.

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" will also star Daniel Craig, Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgard, and Christopher Plummer, to be released in December 21, 2011.
