The film - which details the origins of Facebook - took awards for best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, and best original score. After a near-complete domination of awards season thus far, the film is heading into the Oscar nominations a considerable frontrunner.

In addition to "The Social Network," major winners included Christopher Nolan's "Inception," which dominated the technical categories and actually took home the most trophies of the night, David O. Russell's "The Fighter", which took awards for best ensemble, and for both Melissa Leo and Christian Bale for best supporting actress and actor, respectively, and Tom Hooper's "The King's Speech," which won both best actor (Colin Firth) and best original screenplay. All four films area all but guaranteed Oscar nominations for best picture.

Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" headed into the ceremony with a record 12 nominations, but won only one, for Natalie Portman's performance.

Other winners included "Waiting For 'Superman,'" which won best documentary feature over "Inside Job" and "Exit Through the Gift Shop," and "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," which took best foreign language film over "I Am Love" and "Biutiful."
