For the Oscars, my overall pick is “The King’s Speech” due to the superb cast and the fact that the movie was of superior quality despite the lack of sex and violence. I have to applaud the Weinsteins for their commitment to making high quality films that inspire people! Kudos to Harvey Weinstein!!
\nHe gets that the key to quality filmmaking lies in the old-fashioned art of storytelling. Colin Firth made me cry during his speech. The movie really struck a cord with me!<\/em><\/strong>
