A few of us are just having some fun with the race by sticking by The Social Network. ¬†My advice to you, Oscar watchers, though: do not try this at home. ¬†There isn’t a single thing about The King’s Speech to make anyone doubt its dominance. ¬†I do believe it will sweep many of the major awards. ¬†At some point, though, being yet one more person predicting the exact same thing as everyone else is as useless as being the one person who goes against the grain. ¬†Rather than switch my prediction officially to the King’s Speech, I’m sticking with what I think is the best and most deserving film of the year, whether the Academy agrees or not (they won’t). In the meantime, our contender tracker offers up our objective, less subjective, take on the race.
