This film has been a hit in all sense of the word; at festivals, at award ceremonies, in the box office – The King’s Speech really took a small idea and moulded it into a fantastically captured story that caught the hearts of the world entire. I am 100 percent sure that Colin Firth will be this year’s Best Actor, but as for the film scooping Best Picture, it is likely - but does has worthy competition. Tom Hooper has been recognised in the Director category (for making something small so cinematic), which obviously enhances its chances. I have noticed the film receiving something of a backlash recently, especially off the back of its massive win at the BAFTAs, and this is completely unwarranted. Too little, too late? We’ll see. If you ask me though, this euphoric film and one other has the biggest chance. This year's race is a two-horse one, and this has its foot-firmly in the mixer. Not bad for a little film.
Would it have been nominated before the 10 nomination-rule?
No point wasting time here, yes it would have been. Out of all the nominees this year, this is the film with the greatest track record; and lets face it, this is now apparently the biggest favourite Oscar has ever seen. So yeah, a nomination was a dead cert.
