If you enjoy film, you live for the most anticipated awards show of the year. The Academy captivates us for many reasons: the fashion, the stars, the drama. This year is arguably the most competitive for Best Picture. You’ve undoubtedly seen The Social Network and may support the claim that it is the film that “defines a generation”. With the critic’s support of Fincher’s work and the box office earnings to reflect that, why wouldn’t it win? Social Network has a fantastic script and excellent directing with strong acting too. But I can’t bring myself to love it enough to support it as Best Picture. I guess I cannot empathize with rich nerds!
The King’s Speech, True Grit, Winter’s Bone, Inception and Black Swan are far more superior in acting, in editing, in costume design, and in story telling. My choice? Well, that's simple, The King's Speech. This, of course, is my humble opinion. However iconic they are, the Oscars are never accurate of what is “best”, so take the results at face value. A good film will always be a good film.(With the exception of last year’s Blind Side. It should never have been nominated.)
So my question to you is, what is your pick for Best Picture? Be Internet famous, leave your choice in the comments below!
