If The King's Speech is not nominated for Best picture it will be a complete shocker. Even if it gets snubbed, which is a long shot, it is worth a few hours of your time. Colin Firth stars as the stammering King George VI and his performance is one of his best. Of course Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter play their usual typecast characters, but Rush seems to give a little more bite to the character. We can see them both getting a nod.
It is worth noting that Oscar Winning Jenny Beaven did the costume design for this film and it is beautiful. With costume credits that include Sherlock Holmes, Gosford Park, Anna and The King, etc... It is almost a sure thing that she gets nominated......again....for this one.
