Social Network, King’s Speech Aim for Oscars
The Social Network, a story about the prickly author of Facebook, and The King’s Speech, a saga of Queen Elizabeth II’s stammering father, are to be announced shortly, among likely nominees for Hollywood’s top prize, at Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
The 83rd Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, February 27, 2011, telecast live from the historic Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on ABC at 8PM ET.
The two films are the best-picture front-runners. With a best-drama win at the Golden Globes and top honors from key critics groups, “The Social Network” seems to have the edge. But “The King’s Speech” pulled off an upset over the weekend for the main prize at the Producers Guild of America Awards, whose winner often goes on to claim best picture at the Oscars.
