Not only do I think 鈥淭he King鈥檚 Speech鈥� will win the Oscar for best picture, I actually think it deserves to win. It stands up to repeated viewings. I should know: I鈥檝e seen it three times. Each time I get something more out of it -- a revelatory bit of business, an emotional grace note, an inflection from one of the many wonderful performers. (No film this past year has had better ensemble acting). 鈥淭he King鈥檚 Speech鈥� is old-fashioned in the best sense. It tells a complex story with deft simplicity.
