Οι Χρυσές Σφαίρες έφυγαν και τα Βρετανικά Όσκαρ έρχονται, με πρωταγωνιστή στις υποψηφιότητες το The King’s Speech και το Black Swan να ακολουθεί, από κοντά.

Η ταινία του Tom Hooper συγκέντρωσε 14 υποψηφιότητες, ανάμεσα στις οποίες εκείνες της Καλύτερης Ταινίας, Καλύτερου Σεναρίου, Καλύτερης Σκηνοθεσίας και φυσικά Πρωταγωνιστικού Ρόλου, ενώ στις ίδιες κατηγορίες θα βρει αντίπαλο το ψυχολογικό θρίλερ του Darren Aronofsky με 12 υποψηφιότητες. O μεγάλος θριαμβευτής των Χρυσών Σφαιρών The Social Network, συγκεντρώνει 6 υποψηφιότητες, στις σημαντικές ωστόσο κατηγορίες, πίσω από το Inception του Christopher Nolan (9 υποψηφιότητες) άλλα και το True Grit των αδερφών Κοέν (8 υποψηφιότητες).

Colin Firth και Natalie Portman αποτελούν φαβορί για άλλο ένα βραβείο στους πρώτους ρόλους, άλλα με δυνατούς πλέον αντιπάλους. Ο μεν Firth πρέπει να αντιμετωπίσει τον δυνατό Javier Bardem (Biutiful) και δευτερευόντως τους Jeff Bridges (True Grit), Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) και James Franco (127 Hours). Η δε Portman έχει πιο “εύκολο” έργο ανάμεσα στις Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right), Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) και Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit).

Η τελετή απονομής θα πραγματοποιηθεί στην Βασιλική Όπερα του Λονδίνου στις 13 Φεβρουαρίου και η αναλυτική λίστα των υποψηφίων έχει ως εξής:
