This is another one of those 50/50 years. There's plenty of good, but plenty of "meh", mediocre and bad films. The Academy Awards selections were a marked improvement over the previous year's. Although, the pick for winner...does any still give a rip about King's Speech and did you even back then? Looking at the list, I'd say by and large at least 8 of those were far better films than King's Speech. King's Speech feels like that boring English movie that seems to be the shoe in stereotype for Best Picture in yesteryear. Could you tell how much I care less about King's Speech?
