  1. ‘The Social Network’ “Liked” by the Golden Globe Awards

    The Social Network

    Last night, "The Social Network," a film about the controversial founding of Facebook by Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg, walked away with several Golden Globe Awards, including the highly-coveted "Best Picture" award. Many in the film industry point to the Golden Globe Awards (in its 68th year this year) as an indicator for the Oscars, which will release its nominations on January 25. Others rely on the Golden Globe Awards to either add-to or check-off films on their "must see" list. And given that all these films will be, or already are, on DVD in 2011, sales and rentals of these films tend experience a notable spike post-awards. What about you? Will "The Social Network" be watched on your flat-screen TV and TV lift cabinet before winter's end?

    At the 68th Golden Globe Awards, "The Social Network" had six nominations. The only film to best it in nominations was "The King's Speech." What the "likable" film won, in the end, were awards for Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Original

  3. Library of Congress Preserves 25 Classic Films in 2010

    Library of Congress

    Thanks to the Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, 25 more motion pictures have been included in the National Film Registery of the Library of Congress, and they will surely retain a place in your living room for generations to come. These films will be officially, digitally and uniquely preserved and stored in our nation's capital, so you will be able to pass down not only your beloved TV lift cabinet to your children, but the films that you enjoyed watching on it.

    As part of the National Film Preservation Act, every year the Library of Congress selects 25 films that preserves America's film patrimony for inclusion in the Library of Congress. Films selected in 2010 covered a period between 1891 and 1996. Without this preservation, according to James H. Billington, Americans risk losing out on their unique motion picture heritage. Billington says that already about half of all the films created prior to 1950 and almost 90 percent of films made before 1920 have been lost forever
