Oscars Have A New King

“The King’s Speech” was crowned best picture Sunday at an Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation, the monarchy drama leading as expected with four Oscars and predictable favorites claiming acting honors. Colin Firth, as stammering British ruler George VI in “The King’s Speech,” earned the best-actor prize, while Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in “Black Swan.” The boxing drama “The Fighter” claimed both supporting-acting honors, for Christian Bale as a boxer-turned-drug-abuser and Melissa Leo as a boxing clan’s domineering matriarch. “The King’s Speech” also won the directing prize for Tom Hooper and the original-screenplay Oscar for David Seidler, a boyhood stutterer himself/ Associated Press .

Question: I’ve seen 5 of the nominees for Best Picture at the 83rd annual Academy Awards, including the movie that won, “The King’s Speech.” I plan to see “The Fighter” now. How many of the nominated movies have you seen. Which one of the remainders is at the top of your list to see?
