‘It’s a Lot of Pressure’: Jesse Eisenberg Reacts to NBR Win, Awards Season

Thursday afternoon, I met Jesse Eisenberg at a New York City dive bar — coincidentally named “Social” — for a pretty sprawling interview that will publish here next week. As he was en route, he heard the news that he had won the National Board of Review’s Best Actor award for his performance in The Social Network (which also claimed the group’s Best Picture and Best Director prizes). I asked Eisenberg about winning that award and what the awards season — and his real first go around with it — means to him.

National Board of Review Honors The Social Network, Jacki Weaver Among Best of 2010

It looks like at least on random collection of awards voters has been paying attention to Movieline’s Oscar Index . The National Board of Review kicked off awards season in style this afternoon by selecting Animal Kingdom star Jacki Weaver as Best Supporting Actress of the year. Huzzah ! Elsewhere, The Social Network cleaned house with awards for Best Film, Director, Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Adapted Screenplay. Click ahead for the full list of winners — and note that 127 Hours , Black Swan and The Kids Are All Right were all snubbed. Did the Board not get those screeners?
