Overall: Excellent article, no need for QPQ (only three previous DYKs), Earwig is ok (the top hit is a wiki mirror, the others pick up quotes only). Sensible fair use for lead picture. Onceinawhile (talk) 14:08, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Why were all the hooks struck? What's left is the most unhooky of them all. Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
@Yoninah: it was hooky to me, because I remember thinking the film was mediocre when I watched it, so receiving 8 nominations was a real surprise. ALT1 and ALT2 are just more detail, ALT3 is less notable I think, and ALT4 sounds like an advert. Onceinawhile (talk) 14:55, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
@Onceinawhile: if you gave it some context and said it was mediocre, or that its nominations were a surprise, then it might work. But an awards tally could be said about so many other films. Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
@Yoninah: fair enough. Rotten tomatoes rates it very highly, so I am clearly in the minority. @Some Dude From North Carolina: how about an ALT based on the Lefsetz quote along the lines of "...The Social Network fueled the perception that techies are rock stars”.

@Some Dude From North Carolina: You forgot to sign your comment above, so the ping to Onceinawhile and Yoninah likely did not work. Anyways, I think we can do way better for an interesting hook. How about:
ALT9:... that the first scene of the 2010 film The Social Network took 99 takes to finish?
We'll need to recreate Winklevoss twins as a disambiguation page (it was recently AfDed) if we go for ALT8. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 20:40, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Only a comment but among the two new suggestions, ALT9 is probably the hookier one. Narutolovehinata5tccsdnew 02:45, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm approving ALT9 as the most interesting. SL93 (talk) 23:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
