Both the LA and NY groups chose «The Social Network» as best picture and «
Carlos» as best (and most)
foreign -
language film — all five and a half hours and 11
languages: English, French, German, Spanish (with a Venezuelan accent), various dialects of Arabic, Russian, Hungarian, Italian... LAFCA left no doubt about its esteem for both movies, with «
Carlos» coming in as first runner - up for best picture and Fincher and Assayas sharing the director's prize.
