But a little gimp didn't stop him from making an Oscar push. Timberlaked hopped up to the ArcLight theater in Hollywood last night to join fellow castmembers from The Social Network for a special Q&A session. The panel discussion came just hours after the film was named Best Picture by the tastemakers at the National Board of Review.
