What does all this mean? Well, The King’s Speech may have just pulled ahead of The Social Network as the frontrunner for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards. So far, it’s neck and neck between the two, with Black Swan and 127 Hours trailing slightly behind. The profile of Love, Etc., a documentary about five New York City stories, also rises, and although the plot sounds a little cliched, clearly the crowd liked it.
