'King's Speech' on it's way to best picture Oscar?

"King's Speech" nabbed the top prize at the Producers Guild Awards this weekend, turning the tide in a film season that seemed all but assured to crown "Social Network" on Oscar night.

I'm relieved at this. While I enjoyed "Social Network," it lacked a depth of feeling, real people and heart. And what was up with the Asian fetishism!

I believe firmly that "Black Swan" and "The Fighter" were the year's finest films. But "Speech" is also very good -- brilliant acting, writing, directing, cinematography. A meaty film with the snoot factor to boot.
