Will Win: The King’s Speech
It’s amazing. If you had asked me only a month ago who was going to win this award, I would have told you unequivocally that it was going to be The Social Network. However, after the major guild awards started to announce, there was a quick turnabout and support behind The King’s Speech. A former front-runner can survive one major precursor upset, but not all of them. The King’s Speech has shown itself as the one to beat. It may have missed the critical support, but the industry has spoken volumes to how much they love the film, and the industry is who votes for the Oscars. Make no mistake, The King’s Speech shall be crowned the royal victor.
Should Win: The Social Network
I wish this race was what is was before the guilds started taking over. I liked it when The Social Network was looking like the one that was going to win, because I agreed that sentiment. It’s smartly written, handsomely directed and incredibly acted. Among a limited sea of good movies that came out last year, this was the one that stood head and shoulders above the rest. It’s not the best film ever made, but it is certainly the one that engaged me the most than any other film of its year.
