Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg’s objections to the way he was portrayed in The Social Network obviously did it no harm. The film scored four Golden Globes in LA overnight.

David Fincher’s story about the billionaire’s creation of the popular website scooped the prizes for best dramatic film, best director, best screenplay and best score.

In his acceptance speech for best screenplay, the film’s writer, Aaron Sorkin, extended an olive branch to Zuckerberg, who viewed the The Social Network as a character assassination.

“Rooney Mara’s character makes a prediction at the beginning of the movie: she was wrong. You turned out to be a great entrepreneur, a visionary and an incredible altruist,” Sorkin said.

And Colin Firth, who played stammering King George VI in The King’s Speech, was rewarded for his performance with the best actor globe.

“To get to this stage of your life with your dignity and judgment intact can be somewhat precarious,’ Firth said during his speech.

“Sometimes all you need is a bit of gentle reassurance to keep you on track but right now this (the award) is all that stands between me and a Harley Davidson.”

Natalie Portman won best actress for her role in Black Swan.

She thanked her husband Benjamin Millipied, who she met on the set of the film.

“Benjamin choreographed the film, and also you might remember him in the movie as the guy when they ask, ‘Would you sleep with that girl?’ And he’s like, ‘Pffsh, no.’ He’s the best actor. It’s not true: He totally wants to sleep with me!”
