I mean this in the nicest way, but have you ever SEEN the oscars?  This film is what is referred to as oscar jail-bait.  You've got next to no budget, limited release, fairly obscure actors, and a story about someone overcoming a disability, it involves the royal family and it's a period piece.  Good god man the only way it could seem more appealing to the board if the king was a gay, overweight black woman who's slightly slow.  (But not full-on retarded... remember the rule... if you go full retarded you lose, but if you are half-retarded you win.  ;) )

Haven't seen this film, but I've heard good things.  I'm just saying man.... hollywood blockbusters and scifi/fantasy films are what get snubbed at the awards.  Stuff like this is the only thing those artsy-fartsy panelists ever recognize.

Well then I guess my statement still holds  ;D
