The Academy Awards are the film equivalent of the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Hollywood’s ultimate honour, the Oscars recognize – in theory – the pinnacle of cinematic achievement in a given year, while the film to take home the coveted award for Best Picture is immortalized in the halls of movie history. In just a few short days, the winners of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will be announced, and as it so often does, the Best Picture race has come down to two critically acclaimed favourites. In one corner sits a charming and affecting period piece about a monarch learning to overcome a stutter; in the other, a striking, propulsive and meticulously calculated telling of the birth of a 21st century phenomenon. Reel Rumbles is proud to bring you a preview to the biggest and most anticipated showdown of the season… The Social Network vs. The King’s Speech.

In Search of Best Picture
17, Feb 2011
by Nigel Druitt
As the Oscar telecast creeps up on us again, it begs the question: How many times has the Academy really gotten this “Best Picture” thing right, anyway?
Think about it. How many controversial decisions are there in the Academy’s history? How many times is a movie other than Best Picture long remembered as the best of the year?
