Okay, it's pretty obvious it's a two horse race for Best Picture this year. The Social Network has taken most of the Best Picture awards for 2010 so far, but that was before The King's Speech actually came out. The King's Speech has twelve Oscars nominations in all while The Social Network has eight. Films featuring royalty have a history of doing well at the Oscars (remember Shakespeare in Love and The Queen?) - however, The King's Speech is also a British movie, and the Oscars is pretty well known for being just a little bit snobby about non-American films.
What do you think? I'm placing my bets on The Social Network, despite all the hype for The King's Speech.
