Oscar gets it right

The King's Speech won "best picture" at the 83rd Academy Awards, and deservedly so. Colin Firth also took home the Oscar for lead actor. On the red carpet, Dame Helen Mirren summarized it best: "'The King's Speech' had little to do with the royal family. I don't think it struck a nerve so much as it's a well-made film and a story that is very accessible, and about a simple personal human struggle that we all have in different ways. So I think the simplicity was a great appeal. It has incredible performances and it's a beautifully made film."
