In case you missed it, 'The King's Speech' took home top honors at the Academy Awards last night, beating out 'The Social Network,' 'Black Swan' and good taste to win the award for Best Picture.

Sorkin, the brain behind 'The West Wing,' has jumped on board to write the screenplay for the upcoming Facebook movie -- the tale of a Harvard student who becomes an Internet billionaire.
