The Boston area is hot as far movies are concerned. That the Oscars gave five trophies to Hub films The Fighter and The Social Network was the ultimate proof.

The glitz and glamour of America's film industry is on display tonight when the 83rd Annual Oscars take over the airwaves on ABC. In the 2011, Boston is generating buzz like never before with three movies set in, or near, Boston up for Academy Awards. The Globe's Wesley Morris expects Christian Bale and Melissa Leo to win Oscars for their supporting roles in The Fighter. He said The Fighter and David O. Russell should win for Best Picture and Best Director, but will lose out to The King's Speech and The Social Network's David Fincher, respectively.
The fourth annual Boston Society of Film Critics (BSFC) Awards and Screening ceremony is scheduled for tonight at 7 p.m. at the Brattle Theatre.
The Oscar nominations were announced today with some wicked good films garnering nominations. Boston-connected films were well represented today. The Fighter, Mark Wahlberg's film about Lowell boxer Micky Ward, got seven nominations, including one for best picture. The cast of The Fighter got three nominations as Christian Bale was nominated for the supporting actor Oscar for and the supporting-actress Oscar field includes Melissa Leo and Amy Adams. David O. Russell of The Fighter is one of the best director nominees.
The Social Network may be the worst movie title since My Best Friend's Girl desecrated the Cars' legacy, but that didn't stop Justin Timberlake from signing up for it. This means JT not-T will "likely" be at Somerville's Thirsty Scholar in two weeks filming that poorly but appropriately titled movie, which apparently traces the tale of Facebook's founding at Harvard. Written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher, the film will also star Adventureland's Jesse Eisenberg.
