The critics’ lists just keep on coming. We already brought you the American Film Institute and the Boston Society of Film Critics' awards for the best in film of 2010 earlier today, and now the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has announced the winners of their awards. The Social Network was, again, the big winner. David Fincher’s award-magnet picked up Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Music, and in a tie with Carlos’ Olivier Assayas, Best Director. In a bit of a surprise, the other big winner was the French-German television mini-series-turned theatrical film Carlos. The film took home the award for Best Foreign-Language Film as well as Best Director. Oscar heavyweight The King’s Speech only managed to pick up one award, Best Actor. Hit the jump for a full list of winners and runners-up.

A few of the winners on this list are a bit, shall we say, different from what we’ve come to expect during this awards season. Don’t let it be said that the LAFCA lacks gusto. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see some fresh choices once in a while. Expect more announcements from the critics groups in the next few days, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announcing their nominations for the Golden Globes on Tuesday.
