Hey there AAAutin! You're putting KIng's Speech over The Social Network! Cheers! I had no idea there was anyone more than me with that priority! TSN is kind of sacred here.

I loved both but if I have to rank them, The King's Speech was slightly better.

(I disagree completely aobut Midnight in Paris being better than 127 hours, Black Swan and Winter's bone, but that's a different story)

Good to know the King has friends in spiny places.

(I disagree completely about Midnight in Paris being better than 127 hours, Black Swan and Winter's bone, but that's a different story.)

Well, if it's any consolation, I don't like any of 'em.

More than wanting to see Midnight/Woody win, I want to see ToL get shut out and Malick can go back into hibernation for another 20 years.

With three films on the way, that's not happening regardless of him getting snubbed at the Oscars.
