The Social Network: 3 lines industry ×2 verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): The Social Network → The King's Speech. The Academy was wrong: The Social Network should have beaten The King's Speech.
    “obviously, should have been social network over King speech.”

Colin Firth: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (performance benchmark): Colin Firth → The King's Speech. Colin Firth's stutter is held up as the only film stutter that felt accurate, unlike Giamatti's.
    “It was kind of the only stutter in film history that felt like, oh, that seems pretty accurate.”

Darkest Hour: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Darkest Hour → The King's Speech. Mendelsohn's king did not stutter as much as Colin Firth's Oscar-winning version.
    “famously the character that Con Firth won for the Oscar for.”

The Judge: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (awards-contrast): The Judge → The King's Speech. King's Speech and A Beautiful Mind are the nearest recent mannered Oscar winners, but they are British or biopic.
    “But that's the British Tony thing. You know? And Beautiful Mind is like biopic.”

  1. industry (awards upset): The Social Network → The King's Speech. King's Speech beat Social Network at the Oscars, which the speaker finds unforgivable.
