It's certainly not a movie for everyone and I do expect a lot of college kids to hate it too. I phrased that kind of crappy, making it seem like I only think 50 year olds will hate it.
But it didn't really win anything monstrous at the Oscars. Aaron Sorkin DEFINITELY deserved best adapted screenplay, top 3 writer in Hollywood, bar none. Then The Social Network won Best Music and Best Editing. Awards only die-hards care about.
King's Speech was definitely the better movie but it was a lock for Best Picture, anyway. It was perfect Oscar bait.
Also, overall, 2010 was a bit of a weak year. Inception was good but the more I watch it and read about it, the less I like it.
Winter's Bone was the Picture of the Year for me.

I'm of the "older" group and I liked it quite a bit. I thought it was a dead heat between Social Network and King's Speech for best movie of the year. But I think over time the Social Network will hold up much better than The King's Speech because of it's subject matter. Facebook is getting bigger and bigger by the day. Twenty years from now people will watch the Social Network and say "so this is how it all started."
