Here's how they've stacked up nomination-wise:
Tom Hooper’s The King’s Speech is in the lead in the Academy Awards race, pushing ahead of The Social Network by scoring 12 Oscar nominations overall, compared to eight for David Fincher’s opus about Facebook.
Shock and surprise: Fincher’s film is not even in second place, despite winning a clutch of Golden Globes, including as best picture, and thus positioning itself as the front-runner.
Instead True Grit is in second overall with 10 noms, with Inception locked in a tie with The Social Network with eight and The Fighter scrapping just behind with seven.
All five of these films are among the 10 nominated as best picture. That list also includes 127 Hours (six noms), Black Swan (five noms), The Kids are All Right (four noms), Winter’s Bone (four noms) and — in the biggest surprise of Tuesday’s announcements — Toys Story 3 (with a robust five noms).

Didn't Bridges win Best Actor last year? The guy is a machine.
