The Hard Sell

Was this really necessary?

I mean they're already going to win a slew of Oscars. (see final predictions and vote on reader polls). Honestly I thought this was a parody of a hard sell Oscar campaign / movie commercial for the first few seconds. My favorite part is either the woman with long hair who actually cries while participating in a movie commercial or the guy in St Louis with the yellow shirt.

The King's Speech reminds us that we're all human.

Uh, I hadn't actually forgotten but... thanks?

Thanks to Glenn for pointing this out. And I know it's splitting hairs but isn't a smidgeon dishonest to claim you're THE most acclaimed movie of the year when another movie has won more prizes than any movie usually ever does and yet another is actually the best reviewed of the year?
