I enjoyed the kings speech, it was well acted and it was an interesting story but having it win best picture wouldn't seem right... however what would beat it? Inception is a cult film, it doesn't have a fucking chance, plus it's overrated--same people that love the matrix. True Grit had potential, but misfired trying to stay too true to the original--bridges did a pretty good job and I can see him winning again for this one. Toy Story 3? I saw it, it was ok but completely forgettable. The social network was exhausting.. every single character was so despicable it literally made me nauseous, whether it is a true depiction or not it is an ugly story told by ugly characters. The only reason everyone saw it was because people were dying to find secrets to making their farmville farm more productive. Black Swan I keep going back and forth whether I should hit the theatre for this one or not, I have a sneaking suspicion that guys only like this movie because there are hot girls making out in it... I got my fix with wild things already. The fighter, I had no intention of seeing this, then I heard rumours of excellent performances and great story and I just couldn't avoid it. It was terribly promoted, the trailer didn't explain much, the title is weak but the movie was the best I've seen this year. Wahlberg plays himself as he often does in movies but it is unique enough to keep the story interesting and Christian Bale's performance was so convincing I completely forgot it was him in it. Just great.

Will The Fighter win? probably not, but that is my pick for best one.
