Can Coilin Firth follow Helen Mirren by winning another Royal Oscar? Can The King's Speech go one better than 'The Queen' by walking away with the best picture award?
I mentioned here in my blog back in December of my excitement at what looked to be a great film. Never did I realise at the time just how well it would do, as I later blogged here and here.
Time will tell but in the meantine, this fantastic film is sweeping all before it.
Long Live The King!
I have a feeling that the US will keep it in-house and give it to the film about the founder of Facebook.
