Best Picture/ Original Screenplay/ Best Director/ Best Actor: The King’s Speech
As The King’s Speech won all four of these categories, I figured I might as well roll them all into one. Before I saw this film, I was hoping, somewhat wistfully, that True Grit would sweep these awards, being the Coen brothers fan boy that I am. However, after seeing The King’s Speech, I knew this was not a Coen brothers year.

Rapunzel was trapped in a tower and eventually saved by the prince after he climbed to the top by her hair. Cinderella was magically transformed from a servant for her horrid step-family to a princess dancing the night away with her prince at the ball. We all know the classic Disney story of the damsel in distress: after considerable toil, she is rescued by the handsome prince and living happily ever after.
