It looks like True Grit V Social Network come Oscar night

I believe the New Yorker summed it up best - As for the relative box-office success of the two films: “True Grit” has, so far, brought in $138.6 million; “The Social Network,” $94.9 million. Who’s a more bankable heartland star, Jeff Bridges or Jesse Eisenberg? Who is a likelier American hero, a cowboy or a Harvard computer nerd? 

You must pay for everything in this world one way or another,” says Mattie, the protagonist of True Grit. “There is nothing free except the grace of God.”

The runners for best picture at the 2011 Oscar's are:

BEST PICTURE (10 nominations):
Black Swan
127 Hours
The Fighter
The Kids Are All Right

Inception
The King’s Speech
