Fighting for the Oscar

I was lucky enough to see a preview of The Fighter today. Great film, and today it was announced it is nominated in the Oscars.

My friend asked me if I thought The Fighter or The King's Speech should get the Oscar. I'd find it very hard to call. They are poles apart in terms of pace, setting and subject matter but both Colin Firth and Christian Bale are excellent and very convincing as the real-life people they portray.

I've done a couple of back blips, starting here.
