The King's Speech

We went to see The King’s Speech this afternoon. This is absolutely one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. The performances are superb. I particularly loved the “look” of the movie - the focus on the characters, with close-ups on a wall-background - nothing distracting from the intensity of emotion. It’s nominated for twelve Academy Awards:

Picture
Actor in a Leading Role
Actor in a Supporting Role
Actress in a Supporting Role
Director
Art Direction
Cinematography
Costume Design
Film Editing
Music
Sound Mixing
Writing (Original Screenplay).

In my opinion, the movie deserves a win in every category.
