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
